minutes
A written record of the proceedings of directors, or shareholders, meetings. Usually a summary of the discussion at meetings and a record of formal resolutions passed. The minutes of a meeting are usually prepared by the secretary and then presented and approved at the next meeting and signed by the chairman. The completed minutes are prima facie (but not conclusive) evidence of the proceedings of the meetings.
