Hi everyone

Great to catch up last night - here are the guidelines for redacting
the minutes I sent around a few months ago - can people check they're
happy with them please? I'll post them up on the site at the beginning
of next week.

Shall I also take on responsibility for preparing the minutes for
publication from yesterday's meeting?

Cheers

Becky

> discussion took place, and the subject of that discussion.
>  * Remove discussions about matters where the Board has been
> approached in confidence.
>  * Remove or redact discussions of individuals not on the Board of
> Directors, unless those individuals have granted their specific
> permission to be included.
>  * Remove discussions of individuals and organisations that have a
> good chance of being libellous.
>  * Record the outcome of all items on the agenda, even if those items
> were held over for discussion at a later date.
