|---|--------|-------|----------|--------|
| 1 | [task] | [name] | [date] | Pending |

Decisions Made:
- [decision 1] — rationale: [why]
- [decision 2] — rationale: [why]

Open Items (next meeting):

• Recurring meetings without periodic review = calendar cancer

Verification

• Every meeting produces action items with owners and deadlines
• Summary sent within 24 hours
• Action items tracked to completion
• Recurring meetings reviewed quarterly for necessity
