After the Meeting Adjourns
- Create the Minutes
rrsagent, create minutes (the following 5 commands are synonyms)
rrsagent, draft minutes
rrsagent, format minutes
rrsagent, generate minutes
rrsagent, make minutes
rrsagent, publish minutes
Create minutes command ensures that the attendees list is correctly populated -- use the + and minus syntax to add or delete attendees, regrets, etc. -- remember that you MUST issue an "rssagent, create minutes" order for the minutes to execute your instructions -- every time you do so, be sure to REFRESH the document in the browser instance in which you are reviewing the draft minutes.
Naming syntax for the automatically generated documents is:
http://www.w3.org/YYYY/MM/DD-dxwgdcat-minutes.html
http://www.w3.org/YYYY/MM/DD-dxwgdcat-irc
- Make Any Corrections to the Minutes
NOTE: Non-staff members who are acting as scribe MUST effect any changes or corrections BEFORE dismissing RRSAgent; staff can edit/manipulate minutes by appending a comma and the word tools to the URI for the minutes - for example http://www.w3.org/2018/01/17-dxwgdcat-minutes.html,tools
- Dismiss Zakim AND RRSAgent
zakim, please part (this will result in the output of attendees)
rrsagent, please part (VERY LAST STEP- logs actions and resolutions)
Put text dump in email along with HTML and IRC log pointers
