FAQ
Board meeting minutes are an objective record of what took place during a board meeting. The minutes are typically used for internal purposes like record-keeping and for posterity. Minutes can serve to inform future meetings and recall what was discussed, agreed upon or dismissed by a company's board members.
The Chair has the same right to make or second a motion or to debate as the other Board Members. The role of presiding officer need not be assigned to another Board Member while the Chair exercises these rights.
A motion is the topic under discussion (e.g., “I move that we add a coffee break to this meeting”). After being recognized by the president of the board, any member can introduce a motion when no other motion is on the table.
Any member of the meeting, who has a right to participate and vote, can raise a motion. They must be recognised by the chair and given the floor to speak. If another member seconds the motion, it moves forward for discussion.
A motion is the topic under discussion (e.g., “I move that we add a coffee break to this meeting”). After being recognized by the president of the board, any member can introduce a motion when no other motion is on the table. A motion requires a second to be considered.
Motion: To introduce a new piece of business or propose a decision or action, a motion must be made by a group member ("I move that......") A second motion must then also be made (raise your hand and say, "I second it.") After limited discussion the group then votes on the motion.
A motion is a proposal that the entire board take action or stand on an issue. A motion should express a decision in precise terms that, if approved, will be self-explanatory. Typically a motion must be seconded by another director as a precondition to the discussion.
The minutes are a factual record of business. Do not include: Opinions or judgments: Leave out statements like "a well done report" or "a heated discussion." Criticism or accolades: Criticism of members, good or bad, should not be included unless it takes the form of an official motion.
To make a motion, a member must first be recognized by the chair. After the member has made a motion (and after the motion is seconded), the chair must then restate it or rule it out of order, then call for discussion. Exact wording of motions and amendments is important for clarity and recording in the minutes.
