Question re minutes and post-meeting decisions

Hello all,

Would appreciate advice on how to record the following in relation to a meeting of our Honorary Awards Committee of Council:


  1. Committee meeting endorses X nomination.

  2. Directly after meeting I am advised that the required management endorsement for X nomination had not occurred.

  3. I advise the Chancellor (who is Chair of Honorary Awards) and he makes the decision to override the endorsement (which is within his delegation) and request that the nomination be sent back to the nominator to seek the required management endorsement, and if that was received the nomination would then been considered by the Committee at its next meeting.

  4. I advise the Committee of points 2 and 3 above. The minute secretary is now seeking advice on how to procced. Her thoughts are: a. Write the minutes to record the meeting as it occurred, with an addendum noting the subsequent change of decision. b. Write the minutes to record the meeting as it occurred, then at the next meeting include an item in the agenda which reflects the subsequent change of decision for noting.


What have/would you see as best practice?


Thanks,

Julie
