These procedures/rules were developed for and are loosely used for situations that are quite different from the typical Board of Directors meeting and are not really suitable in all their glory. That said, I believe it is important to the point of being a practical necessity that the general nature of the discussions in terms of what was discussed, what points/opinions were expressed, and what the decisions made were be recorded in some form of minutes so there is a record made which in turn becomes the organization's history and in the future someone can go and see what was done and why. Consider such to be similar to comments in source code or documentation so that others can have some hint at what was done and why and hopefully not have to reinvent the wheel or worse. As Ben suggests, it is part of a process to enable continuity and accountability and needs to be suitable for the nature of the organization. -- Ed Lawson Ham Callsign: K1VP PGP Key ID: 1591EAD3 PGP Key Fingerprint: 79A1 CDC3 EF3D 7F93 1D28 2D42 58E4 2287 1591 EAD3 _______________________________________________ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org/
