Frequently asked questions

What is a meeting attendance sheet?+

It is a sign-in record of everyone present at a meeting, often with mode of attendance and apologies, kept with the minutes.

Should online attendees sign?+

They cannot sign physically; the organiser records them from the meeting report and marks the mode as online.

Why record apologies?+

It distinguishes informed absence from no-shows and helps confirm whether quorum was met.
