Do synchronous virtual meetings require minutes?
ALA Policy Manual 7.4.2 states that the “results of the meeting must be made public no fewer than 30 days after the meeting’s conclusion.” The minutes or meeting report must be posted at the Meetings Outside of Annual Conference or Midwinter Meeting Web site. ACRL committee chairs and section secretaries must send minutes for electronic meetings held outside of the Midwinter Meeting or Annual Conference to ACRL within two weeks of the conclusion of the meeting (even though they may not be approved by the membership until the next face-to-face meeting). ACRL committee chairs or section secretaries should follow the same procedures for distributing minutes to the membership as they do for minutes of face-to-face meetings.
