Form with which the stockholders of a corporation record the contents of their first meeting.
Corporate meeting minutes typically include: The meeting's date, time and location. A list of attendees and absentees, including any present board members or officers. Agenda items. Summaries of all discussion points. Details of all activities completed or agreed upon. Results of any votes or motions.
No quorum means no business can be conducted (no motions can be passed!) Reading of minutes may be waived (thank goodness!!)
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.
If the quorum is not present within half an hour of the time set for the meeting to begin, then the following options will be applicable: 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.
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.
2. What should be excluded in the meeting minutes? Avoid switching tenses in your writing. Avoid recording the debate; just record the outcome. Avoid making personal observations or opinions. Avoid verbatim quotes. Avoid letting the meeting move on if you're confused.
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).
