Minutes of meeting

[Basharuae]

hello there, this is my first grammar question, hope to find a help with clear explanatory answer.

Can we use minute as a verb???

ex: the meeting will be minuted and sent to you later.

i found it strange to be pharsed like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
any comment please???

Regards to all

Yes, we can. Using "to minute (down)" to express the taking of minutes is perfectly correct.
Edit: it is perhaps more common to minute at a meeting than to minute a meeting. The object is usually that which is written down, rather than the occasion on which it is done. But I guess it is possible.

Hi,

The point is that items on the agenda and what is discussed are minuted.

So, Alan, what are your thoughts on minuting the meeting itself, instead of the items on the agenda or what is discussed in it? As in the example given, where "the meeting will be minuted"?
