If you are involved with corporate governance, if you sit on any board including a non-profit, if you are a fan of keeping complete minutes of meetings as an archival record of what was discussed and decided– I suggest you read my current article about how to properly record meeting minutes.  It ain’t so easy as you might think….  The article appears on page 14 of the current issue of Mass Lawyers Weekly and shortly will be linked to my bio on the firm website but if you are interested in an advance copy please just send me an email.

The answer to good corporate minutes, by the way, is brevity while describing the process of discussion, not recording the substance of that discussion.
