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
