3. MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING
Document A
To receive: A “to receive” action means you will look at the item without a need for
additional discussion. In this case, the Chair quickly goes through the minutes and
asks for any corrections to the minutes. After any agreed upon corrections or
additions are voiced then someone from the SSC needs to recommend the minutes
be approved, pending the agreed action. The Chair will seek someone to second this
motion and then ask that the minutes be approved through a show of hands or a yay
or nay vote. The Secretary then makes the changes to the minutes and posts the
minutes to the agreed location (e.g., Blackboard, intranet).
4. MATTERS ARISING
To consider: A “to consider” action means you will deliberate the item with possible
additional discussion. In this part of the meeting, the Chair goes through each of the
Action points from the previous meeting.
