Board governance glossary
Closed decision record
Also called: decision record, decision log, resolution record
Definition
A closed decision record is the durable entry for a decision the board has finished: what was decided, how the vote went, who recused, the rationale, and the evidence that the follow-through happened. It is what a new director, auditor, or successor board reads to understand why something was done. Minutes record the meeting; the decision record follows the decision.
How Prepared Board records it
Recorded in Prepared Board
A decision closes with evidence through an acknowledged close action that stores the close date. The signed-in home shows the latest closed decision with its evidence, and says adopted or defeated, who recused, and whether the meeting's minutes are approved only when those fields are stored. Decision outcomes at /app/decisions/outcomes lists each closed decision and says when a piece is missing.
