Robert's Rules of Order: meeting minutes done right

How to apply Robert's Rules of Order to your minutes: motions, amendments, votes and recordkeeping.

Robert's Rules in plain English

The standard parliamentary procedure used by most boards in the US and many internationally. Defines how motions are made, seconded, debated and voted upon.

What goes in the minutes

Per Robert's Rules, minutes record what was done, not what was said. Capture motions, who made them, who seconded, debate summary and vote count — not full quotes.

Approving the minutes

Minutes from the previous meeting are read or distributed in advance and approved at the start of the next meeting. Corrections become part of the new minutes.
