Kathy,<br>I think that'd be helpful, we'll talk about it tonight. I think that rather than templates it's person power that's the problem. <br><br>Cheers,<br>Bianca<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 31 October 2012 09:42, Kathy Reid <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kathy@kathyreid.id.au" target="_blank">kathy@kathyreid.id.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

it's an extra PITA. I think everyone's trying to be helpful by<br>
suggesting minutes/agenda templates, when it might actually be person<br>
power that's the root cause. Many hands = light work.<br>
<br>
Would it help the Council to have a neutral, non-voting,<br>
non-contributing assistant take minutes? This might help by letting<br>
members discuss, reach decisions etc, while the actual documentation is<br>
delegated, then (for example) submitted to Secretary for<br>
review/publication.<br>

(Yes, I'm happy to do this for a couple of months to see if it helps)<br>

Trying to be polite & helpful [1] :-)<br>
