8. As necessary, conclude the minutes with a list of Action Items, including the person(s) responsible for completing the items. Note that action items need not record all of the normal work duties of team members, where normal work means that prescribed in the milestone schedule. Action items are specific tasks to be completed other than normal work, or certain normal work duties that require immediate attention due to neglect or other reasons that caused a delay of completion.
