When recording meeting minutes, which of the following would be most helpful for attendees?

A) A list of those who were invited but didn't attend
B) A list of comments from each participant
C) All major decisions reached
D) Discussion points
E) A list of those who attended

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Typical elements include a list of those present and a list of those who were invited but didn't attend, followed by the times the meeting started and ended, all major decisions reached at the meeting, all assignments of tasks to meeting participants, and all subjects that were deferred to a later meeting. In addition, the minutes objectively summarize important discussions, noting the names of those who contributed major points. Major decisions reached and assignments of tasks will be most helpful for attendees after the meeting.
