And good command of English is only one of the many prerequisites of good minutes writing.
very true. i have worked in GLCs and MNCs before. many GLCs work like quasi stat boards since most of the mgmt were from the AO service before they were privatized and hence think in that way. in GLCs uni grads do the minuting but in MNCs the secretary / coordinators etc do the minuting. the audience whom the minutes get circulated too plays a part too.
