Meeting Minutes
We currently have four core meeting sequences:
- Annual General Meetings (annually, in May)
- Board of Trustees Meetings (quarterly)
- Managing Editors Meetings (quarterly)
- Project Team Meetings (bi-annual)
The Publishing Manager and Publishing Assistant are responsible for creating clear and timely meeting minutes.
At each meeting, the Board of Trustees needs to approve the Meeting Minutes of the previous meeting. The Minutes must then be formatted using an "Approved" template and uploaded to the directory as a .pdf file.
This page provides template Markdown files for each:

This template is used to generate the "Approved" version of the Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes. This must be written and transformed into a .pdf file using a text editor on a local computer, then uploaded to the relevant directory. Because the Logo and Stamp of approval are linked to a file stored on one's own computer, the filename may have to be adapted.
