Do you mean how do you write minutes? (of a meeting). In the minutes of a meeting you should record: who was present who was absent - gave their apologies who said what - in any discussions that took place. what actions were agreed who was to do the action what time the meeting opened and closed- maybe when the next meeting will take place All this depends on how formal the meeting is some informal meeting don't need all the details.

Formal Meeting Documents:Meeting documents are created when the business is meeting to discuss matters pertaining to the present operation and future operation of the business. These documents would involve company owners. shareholders, company Directors, large customers/clients and/or leading institutions.Three common meeting documents are...Notice of meeting (detailing date, time, type of meeting, location, the purpose of the meeting)Agenda (detailed listing of the order of events for the meeting)Minutes (The official record of meeting outlining details like place and time of meeting, purpose, attendees, the leader of the meeting, apologies, agenda,review of previous meeting minutes, date, time and place of next meeting and time of meeting closure)
The noun "minutes of a meeting" takes a singular verb when referring to the document itself (e.g. "The minutes of the meeting was distributed"), but a plural verb when referring to the contents or details within the document (e.g. "The minutes of the meeting were thorough").
Minutes are not typically capitalized unless they are part of a title or at the beginning of a sentence. For example, "Meeting Minutes" or "Minutes of the Meeting."
The "MINUTES" of the meeting are plural therefore they WERE adopted.
"Apologies for the oversight on my part. I take responsibility for the mistake and will ensure it doesn't happen again. Thank you for your understanding."
