Minutes review doesn't need to be prolonged; the longer you wait the less participants remember. Online board votes can be closed with a week of discussion and four days to vote: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Vote:Board_deliberations If there is a dedicated scribe, rough minutes can be taken in a shared doc, available during the meeting. The fastest board I've been on spent 5 minutes at the end reviewing the draft minutes + any decisions made, and shared the results right away. This also helped reinforce any next steps committed to. If on the other hand draft minutes aren't available right away, you have to whip people to look & respond (it helps for the whip to be a member of the group, not the scribe, who might not want to press the point), and it's easy for other events to intervene and lead to unexpected delays (since any event can seem more urgent or important than this routine task).
