Minutes of the X Group Meeting hh:mm - hh.mm {AM,PM}, dd Month yyyy Present: Absent: Excused:: The following are instructions for using this template; delete these instructions after use. 1. Record meeting minutes in a separate file for each meeting; name each file "ddmmmyy.html", e.g., 12oct03.html If more than one meeting is held on the same day, suffix each file name with "a", "b", "c", as necessary. E.g., 12oct01a.html, 12oct01b.html. Store these files in the project directory administration/minutes/ 2. Fill in your group name where "X" appears above. 3. Fill in "hh:mm - hh:mm {AM,PM}, dd Month yyyy" with the time and date of the meeting, e.g., 1:40 - 2:00 PM, 21 January 2001. 4. Fill in the Present: line with the names of those who attended the meeting. 5. Fill in the Absent: line with the names of those who did not attend the meeting who should have (i.e., missing group mem- bers). 6. Fill in the Excused: line with the names of those who did not attend the meeting who had a valid reason not to attend and who notified at least one group member in advance that the meeting would be missed. 7. Organize the minutes based on the itemized list of topics from the agenda, plus any new topics that are discussed; record succinctly the discussion of each topic. 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 nor- mal work duties of group members, where normal work means that prescribed in the milestone schedule. Action items are spe- cific 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.
