Stenographer

Re: Stenographer

This very point is one i had a battle royal with the dasa mob.
they were adamant that they thought it was unesseccary to have verbatum minutes taken.
it was my belief that they did’nt want people to know, just how much they dicussed and how little those tasked to do things actually did in response to those tasks.

My other main gripe was that the minutes produced, sometimes months after the meetings, bore little resemblence to the actual meeting itself.

I even suggested that the meetings should be recorded to make it easier for those producing the minutes after. This was again flatley refused.

So if we do all of them it will again show that

A) WE COMPLETE TASKS

B) WE STAND READY TO DEFEND OUR PUBLISHED MINUTES AND OUR MUTUALLY AGREED PROPOSALS AND DECISIONS.

C) BY RECORDING OUR MEETINGS WE SHOW THE HISTORY OF WHERE WE HAVE COME FROM AND THE PATHWAYS WE HAVE CHOSEN TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS

I know i’m preachin to the converted but it is good to state what we do, and why we do it, and the way we do it.

If only to show others that the way to success in any organisation is the practice of openess, inclusion, dogged determination, and inspired imagination.

P.S. By christ it looks as though i’ve just written my resignation adress.
