Hi -

Relatively few WG minute takers pay much
attention to the Mortimer/Agnes/Duane bullet in
http://www.ietf.org/instructions/minutes.html

Is it time to update the web page to reflect actual practice?

Might it be easier to get people to take minutes if they
realized that we're not asking for blow-by-blow transcripts?

Some of these meeting notes that capture (some of) the words
but miss the point of the discussion.

That last point is a useful one, but when I can't be at a meeting I
strongly prefer blow-by-blow transcripts, even babbling, over just
results.  I want Meeting Notes with enough detail that I can pick out
the motivations and other nuances.  "Minutes", for the Proceedings,
should not exclude them.  

Sure, let's update some web page, and perhaps an RFC.

Thanks ... Scott
