Robert's Rules (Section -16) state that “the minutes should contain mainly a record of what was done at the meeting, not what was said by the members.” Minutes are not transcripts of meetings; rather, the document contains a record of actions taken by the body, organized by the meeting's order of business (agenda).
If no quorum is present, the meeting can still be conducted however, the business will need to be held over until later when a quorum is present. Without a quorum, no business can be conducted.
No quorum means no business can be conducted (no motions can be passed!) Reading of minutes may be waived (thank goodness!!)
Day of the Meeting If quorum can not be met, the meeting should be postponed and rescheduled, to a later date, that will allow the 2 weeks minimum notice. No business should take place at a meeting without a quorum. approval of the membership.
Non-Fulfillment of Quorum Requirement The meeting will be adjourned, and it shall be held on the same day and at the same time next week, or any other date and time as the Board may determine. If the meeting is adjourned then the date, time and place of the meeting will be notified personally or via advertisement.
Minutes of meetings should preferably include the following information: Name of the organisation. Date, time and location of the meeting. Confirmation that a quorum was present. List of people present/apologies. Any resolutions passed or delegated.
