5.2 DO'SAND DON'TSIN MEETING MINUTESWRITING
*Do write minutes soon after the meeting—preferably within 48 hours.That way，those who attended can be reminded of action items，and those who did not attend will promptly know what happened.
*Don't skip writing minutes just because everyone attended the meeting and knows what happened.Meeting notes serve as a record of the meeting long after people forget what happened.

*Don't describe all the“he said，she said”details unless those details are very important.Record topics discussed，decisions made，and action items.
*Don't include any information that will embarrass anyone（for example，“Then Johnson left the room in anguish or in tears.”）.
*Do use positive language.Rather than describing the discussion as heated or angry，use passionate，lively，or energetic—all of which are just as true as the negative words.
