Expectations for Global Events Team Meeting Notes
We have a dedicated note-taker for each meeting who is responsible for note taking. Notes are circulate to squad members for review. We strive to make sure that:
the meeting agenda is included the notes at the beginning of the meeting
someone is tracking the time so we cover the agenda items
we document important decision points - and their rationale
individuals are encouraged to add important points to the notes
a summary of action items for next meeting is provided
Meeting notes are taken in Google docs, which is accessible here and on the Global Events meeting invite on the OpenMRS calendar.
