Why would minutes be written after the fact instead of during the meeting by the designated note taker(s)?

And why is the entire board writing up the minutes?
In fact, the job of a scribe is to be able to take down accurate notes during the meeting. Normally, they write up the meeting minutes and send them to everyone, which is part of the process in the Board's manual. If someone disputed the accuracy they say so and it gets resolved.
That does NOT take 3 weeks. I would also suggest if the Board are too busy to provide input on the minutes of Board business then they need to either reduce their commitments, or they need to step away from the Board. They have responsibilities that they committed to when they accepted their position on the Board and they need to take them seriously.
