- 3 weeks for publication of minutes sounds like a reasonable time frame
to me. I'm seeing a few "How can it take 3 WEEKS??!!?!?" reactions from people. Probably because the Board spends all weekend meeting then on Monday go back to their jobs. Then someone starts writing up the minutes from their notes, probably the next weekend. The realise they need to query something and drop someone an email about it. They respond on Tuesday, by which point the minute-writer is spending the free evening they dedicate to Board work on addressing some other issue and the next chance they get to look at it is first thing on Saturday morning - they spend Saturday morning writing up minutes and then circulate a draft .... which then someone wants to amend ... .you get the picture. :)
Why would minutes be written after the fact instead of during the meeting by the designated note taker(s)?
