3. Minutes of the meeting of 14th November 2003
Accepted

4. Matters arising from the minutes
Need
for someone to take minutes for both Executive Committee and
Council meeting. Chair sought a volunteer from
representatives present or from their organisations who
could be co-opted to take minutes. Discussion ensued on
content of minutes. Minutes to record simply the
decisions made and the action points. If the discussion
leads to a resolution then a summary of the key points
needs to be minuted. The Chair added later in the meeting
that verbal reports will be minuted simply as ‘verbal report
given’ unless a summary is submitted by email. The
shorter minutes required may resolve the issue with minute
taking.
