How to Record Minutes

For each meeting, the CAC Secretary will create a minutes file with a title of the format MONTH-YYYY-minutes.md (e.g. March-2022-minutes.md). The Secretary will submit a pull request. The Chair will review the pull request, make any necessary changes, and approve the minutes by merging the pull request.

Each set of minutes should include:

• Date and time of meeting
• Names of those in attendance
• Agenda items discussed and a summary of each discussion
• The outcomes of any votes taken
