Boring. Mundane. An afterthought. A task often assigned to the uninitiated first year corporate associate. Minutes—board minutes, audit committee minutes, compensation committee minutes, special committee minutes, etc.—tend to be glossed over by practitioners and, in some cases, even by board members.
