2. Agenda
Agendas are the documents that give those attending meetings
prior notice of what is being discussed
An agenda is a list of meeting activities in the order in which they
are to be taken up, beginning with the call to order and ending
with adjournment.
It usually includes one or more specific items of business to be
acted upon. It may, but is not required to, include specific times
for one or more activities. An agenda may also be called a docket,
schedule, or calendar. It may also contain a listing of an order of
business.

4. Minutes of meetings
Meeting minutes, or mom (for minutes of meeting) can be defined
as the written record of everything that's happened during a
meeting. They're used to inform people who didn't attend the
meeting about what happened, or to keep track of what was
decided during the meeting so that you can revisit it and use it to
inform future decisions.

5. There are three other
main items that
should be included in
your minutes:
What was achieved during the meeting.
Decisions that were made at the meeting. Your minutes will serve
as a written record that these decisions were made.
Any actions that were agreed. In this case you should include the
action itself, who it was assigned to, and the date it should be
completed by.
Finally, if a follow-up meeting was agreed on, this should be
mentioned.
