How to use
  • Write motions as exact text; include vote outcome.
  • Keep the narrative minimal; minutes are a record, not a transcript.
  • Store minutes in a consistent folder with access controls.
Common mistakes
  • Missing quorum confirmation (can invalidate decisions).
  • Failing to record motion text and votes.
  • Mixing commentary with the formal record.
AI note‑taker fit
  • Numbers and names matter (votes, amounts, motions). Validate both.
  • Privacy posture matters — board topics can be sensitive.
  • Export/copy lets you paste into official docs quickly.
