information.All should cover four basic things:Where and when the meeting took place;Who was there and who was not;What has been decided for the group;Who has agreed to do what.Therefore,most minutes can be divided into four parts:1.Heading 2.Body 3.Adjournment time 4.Signature of the minutes recorder,Structure,This part,which sometimes can be written even before the meeting,includes the following items:1)Meeting title(must be full title)2)The name of the group/organization holding the meeting;3)Time,date and place of the meeting;4)List of people attending5)List of absent members of the group;6)Quorum person7)The name of the presiding officer and minutes recorder(the latter also appears at the end of the minutes,with signature typed or printed name).,The heading,The body part falls clearly into three sections:Opening statement,that is,the background;Points in discussion;Conclusions,that is,resolutions or recommendation,The body,Opening statementThis part provides the background information about items to be discussed.It can show who was responsible for putting the item before the meeting,what were the reasons for the previous history of the matter.“The president noted a

accurate record.”Begin with call to order:“The Chairman called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m.”,Points in discussionThis section contains the reasons advanced in the decision.It will usually proceed“The following points were raised in discussion”,and will then set out,in separate paragraphs or in point form,a concise summary of the various points made before the conclusion was reached.It is normally describe that this part of the minutes should be impersonal,that is,it should not attribute views to persons.Conclusions,A minute ends with clear and precise conclusions.The chairperson will sometimes have summed up the discussion and indicated the conclusion reached.But,if they have not done so,it is the duty for the secretary to draft a set of conclusions which express fairly the sense of the meeting.,Where action is required,the conclusion places the responsibility firmly upon an individual or the organization to carry it out.If several committee members are concerned they should all be named,care should be taken to indicate who has the main responsibility.To take them stand out as clearly as possible,the conclusions are divided into their constitute parts,putting each into a separate provision,E.g.It was resolved.that Dr Wang be requested to draft a revised statement on.that the Vice-Chancellor be invited to discuss the matter at the next meeting of.The conclusions are normally set out at the end of the minute.If,however,the minute falls naturally into a number of different sections,the conclusions can be interspersed in the record of the discussion instead of being brought together at the end of the minute.In that event,each separate section should end with the relevant conclusion,inset in the text.,The last paragraph(maybe a sentence)contains the hour of adjournment:“The chairman thanks all participants for their presence and concludes the meeting at 5:30 p.m.”“There being no other business,the meeting was adjourned at 1:20 p.m.”The minutes are closed
