Yes, but you have to be careful. Many organizations follow a practice in
which the members approve the minutes of each meeting sometime after the
meeting (often, at the next meeting). But this "approval" is merely
agreement that the minutes are an accurate representation of what happened
at the meeting.
In the IETF, it's not good enough for the mailing list to agree that the
minutes are _accurate_. They also need to agree with the decisions
recorded therein.
Still, your point is well taken. Raw jabber logs certainly do not
constitute minutes.
