   questions to the board and about TDF

2. Discuss: Improving boards minuting (Florian Effenberger, Thorsten
   Behrens, 10 mins)

   (this is an ongoing topic) - suggesting a set of steps that we can make here:

   1. create audio recording
   2. possibly have them in written form by making use of ‘speach to text’ techn.
   3. someone creates proper minutes from 1(+2); minutes give a broad summary of statements, and clear AI’s/conclusions/decisions.
   4. these should be available in the week after a meeting and to be approved in the next meeting.
