Pitfalls and Checks
- Neutral tone — document what was said and decided; never editorialize unless the official minutes use specific language
- Vote precision — verify all counts and percentages; attribute each tally to its specific resolution
- Flag gaps — if materials omit vote counts or details, note the limitation explicitly rather than assuming
- High-scrutiny items — apply extra care to mergers, charter/bylaw amendments, director elections, executive compensation, and related-party transactions
- No editorial commentary — report irregularities and objections objectively
- Consistent format — use tabular presentation for all voting results
