When ur writing up the minutes of a meeting is the new business discussed at the meeting become old business?

Question

The meeting was two weeks ago but I'm writing out the minutes now so is the new business then the old business now? whats the different between new minutes and old business Thanks so much!!!

Answer 1

Nope...even though the meeting was 2 weeks ago anything that was brought up at the meeting as new business should still be recorded in the minutes as new business.  Old business would be anything that was first visited at a previous meeting but was talked about or followed up on a the most recent one.

Anything that is raised for the first time during the most recent meeting is considered new business.  If the same item is revisited again at a subsequent meeting, then it moves to old business.  Until your next meeting, everything that was listed as "new" on the most recent agenda is still new.
