Hello!

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:15.110
This is Eliza Kragh from Montana.

00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:24.420
Today, I'm here with Mark Apodaca, who is an expert in parliamentary procedures.

00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:28.900
He has been advising the National Association of the Deaf on proper parliamentary process during their meetings.

00:00:28.900 --> 00:00:30.970
Now, we have a question for him.

00:00:30.970 --> 00:00:37.500
For you specifically, this concerns the acceptance of minutes from meetings conducted by non-profit organizations.

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:40.680
What is the proper procedure for accepting meeting minutes?

00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:51.890
When the president presents the minutes by asking the members if any corrections are needed?

00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:57.880
If no corrections are necessary, then the minutes should be accepted as read.

00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.690
That concludes this part of the process.

00:01:00.070 --> 00:01:07.590
If, during the request for any necessary corrections, a member proposes a correction,

00:01:07.790 --> 00:01:12.250
and no further corrections are needed,

00:01:12.250 --> 00:01:15.080
then the minutes should be accepted with the corrections made.

00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:17.400
That marks the end of this procedure.

00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.640
It is not appropriate to propose a motion regarding the minutes since they as

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.230
records are deemed adopted because being approved is a prior action.

00:01:25.430 --> 00:01:30.500
Proposing a motion would result in an unnecessary duplication of the acceptance of the minutes.

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:31.950
This would be procedurally incorrect.

00:01:31.950 --> 00:01:35.100
Instead, simply invite members to propose any corrections that need to be made.

00:01:35.100 --> 00:01:40.030
If no corrections are proposed, then the minutes should be accepted as they are presented.

00:01:40.030 --> 00:01:42.860
If corrections are made, then the minutes should be accepted as amended.

00:01:42.860 --> 00:01:45.980
This completes the steps for handling and filing the minutes.

00:01:46.370 --> 00:01:47.420
Wow.

00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:49.320
That was so straightforward.

00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:53.240
Thank you, and we really appreciate your providing us with this clarification.

00:01:53.240 --> 00:01:54.160
Thank you!

00:01:54.570 --> 00:01:55.590
You're welcome.
