In this weeks blog, we are talking about record. In our context this would probably relate to keeping a record of the activities, meetings and progress etc. Recording what is done from week to week plays an important role in group collaboration. Records kept of meetings are generally called minutes and they note step by step what happens throughout the meeting, including follow-ups from the last meeting, currrent issues, decisions and points raised for and against and tasks to do before the next meeting.
Records need to be accurately made and kept readily accessible, so if problems arise they can be tracked back meeting by meeting for analysis. Privacy of these records need to be discussed, as they might need to be private to protect information rights or could be made public (public hearings) to show progress, discussion and direction.
Keeping records will ensure some structure is followed by the members of the group, it gives a history or progression and short term tasks related to a direction that the group is moving towards.
Records are the transcripts of the coming together of people and the work they produce individually to add to the project, comment and make changes by discussion.
