Under the reasoning Jim gave, the board meeting minutes may be too
extensive today :(

For legal safety, the goal may be not to record every statement and

results of votes.

Of course, this makes the minutes useless as a collaborative tool.

Each board has to weigh the legal risks vs the collaborative benefit.
