Correcting the Minutes

Corrections are suggested without motion or vote. Be grateful for corrections to the minutes. At least someone was listening closely enough to detect an error, and those corrections enable you to keep a more accurate record for the association.

Minutes may be corrected whenever the error is noticed, regardless of the time that has elapsed. To correct minutes after they have been approved requires a 2/3 vote. Corrections are made in ink by drawing a line through the information with the correction above (if space allows) or written in the margin. Red ink is preferred to indicate a correction. Nothing is ever erased.

Any member has a right to examine the minutes of the association, but this right must not be abused. The original minutes must not be released from the custody of the secretary except upon written order of the president.
