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, starting with 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. For most organizations, it is important for the minutes to be terse and only include a summary of the decisions. A verbatim report is typically not useful. The minutes of certain groups, such as a corporate board of directors, must be kept on file and are important legal documents. ==Public minutes== Publicly held companies are generally required to keep minutes of the proceedings of: (a) general meetings, (b) meetings of the Board of Directors and (c) meetings of committee of the Board of Directors. Minutes become the official written record for an organization required to hold public meetings and governmental hearings. Also, minutes usually follow an adopted set of rules. One of the more widely used rules of order, in the United States, is Robert's Rules of Order. According to Robert's Rules, "the minutes should contain mainly a record of what was ''done'' at the meeting, not what was ''said'' by the members." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minutes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
