Taking Meeting Minutes Best Practices

Hey all!

I was wondering if anyone had access to any resources on best practices for taking meeting minutes.

Before I came to sociocracy, I used to take pretty much verbatim minutes. Now after using it with some groups and taking the SoLT class I have switched to trying to take minutes of just the notes that fit within the agenda questions, and not even taking note of who says what but more of the content.

In a local group (Valley Community Land Trust) I am a part of, we were discussing how much to take in meeting minutes, to make them clear for folks to read who weren’t there, but not too verbose.

If you have any resources for best practices, I would appreciate it!
