Talk:Minutes 2012-09-08

With regard to the minuted decision "It was agreed that the office can support Gibraltarpedia with in-kind contributions, but not funds" - I do not believe this was the decision. We decided to support the Gibraltarpedia project with our normal communications management for events and responding to press enquiries and we had a specific discussion to confirm we would support Gibraltarpedia with our standard merchandizing (leaflets, badges and so forth). We did not give a general agreement for in-kind support. This might be incorrectly interpreted as providing staff time for a month or a desk in the office for an extended period. Can this please be corrected while the minutes are still draft? Thanks --Fæ (talk) 08:18, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

I've rewritten the recorded decision here, and added on the missing action. Please could you edit it directly if it's still not completely accurate? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 09:18, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

No problem, it reads a lot better against my personal expectations. My recollection of what was agreed will be no better than anyone else's, I guess the learning point is to ensure everyone looks at the text on Etherpad (perhaps by projecting it on-screen for everyone) at the moment in the meeting when any "decision" (or "action" I guess), is being minuted. If we leave the board members to only think about the text months later, then you can expect everyone to be vague if there is doubt... --Fæ (talk) 10:48, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
