"Much time is wasted if no record is kept of decisions and assignments. Assign the role of recorder to someone who can listen and be objective and accurate. The recorder needs to understand the technical language of the group and be able to summarize and write down only what is important. An effective recorder may write notes of the discussion on flip chart paper in full view of attendees or take notes on a laptop and project them on a screen for participants to see. Transparency in recording helps reassure the group that its deliberations are being fairly and competently reflected in the notes."
