Minutes, also known as protocols or, informally, notes, are the instant written record of a meeting or hearing. They typically describe the events of the meeting and may include a list of attendees, a statement of the issues considered by the participants, and related responses or decisions for the issues.
Minutes may be created during the meeting by a typist or court reporter, who may use shorthand notation and then prepare the minutes and issue them to the participants afterwards. Alternatively, the meeting can be audio recorded, video recorded, or a group's appointed or informally assigned secretary may take notes, with minutes prepared later. Many government agencies use minutes recording software to record and prepare all minutes in real-time.
Minutes are the official written record of the meetings of an organization or group. They are not transcripts of those proceedings. Using Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR), the minutes should contain mainly a record of what was done at the meeting, not what was said by the members. The organization may have its own rules regarding the content of the minutes.
Don't take my love away
It's the only thing I've got.
Take this throat instead,
Coz it isn't worth a lot.
And I'll write it in the sand,
Just so you understand
That the ground that I walk on
Won't be here when you're gone,
And I'll fall into a hole
Failing without you, No matter what you do.
(Repeat)
Minutes to Midnight
The stars are out, the feeling's right.
Minutes to happiness
To you, my truth I must confess.
(Repeat)
Don't take my love away
It's the only thing I've got.
Take this throat instead,
Coz it isn't worth a lot.
And I'll write it in the sand,
Just so you understand
That the ground that I walk on
Won't be here when you're gone,
And I'll fall into a hole
