General meeting minutes

A general meeting ends in resolutions, and the minutes have to reproduce them faithfully — including whether a motion passed or was merely raised.

What ends up in the document

  • Resolutions and motions as separate findings.
  • The vote inside the resolution, where it was announced.
  • A motion raised is told apart from a motion carried — raised and unresolved is not a decision.
  • The agenda reconstructed from how the meeting actually ran.

Who it is for

Housing associations and cooperatives, societies, boards and councils.
