Writing minutes from 2 hour Teams meeting recordings

Job ID: 33895483

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

This is a project for the UK-based professional engineering institution called CIBSE. We hold meetings of our committees on a regular basis, and these are normally recorded on Microsoft Teams. Meetings are typically 3 hours, but may be anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. They consist of discussions based on papers and reports back from other groups and committees. Typical minutes from our Council can be seen on this webpage https://www.cibse.org/about-cibse/governance/council#3, referred to as “Council Records”. I am looking for an individual to write these minutes from the recordings of the meetings plus the papers and PowerPoint presentations which are shown during the meeting. A very high level of clarity is required for the written english, as well as attention to detail. A list of abbreviations and technical terms can be supplied, but it is often necessary to look up terms on the Internet as a wide range of topics may be discussed. Typically, I find I need twice the length of the meeting to write the minutes when I do them myself. Since the days of the meetings are known, the time can be booked in advance. The minutes need to be produced as soon as possible, and ideally within 48 hours of the agreed time, and to a high standard. Fluent and excellent English is required, along with very good writing and grammar, and ideally with experience of taking minutes. Confidentiality is expected.

The next meeting is on 15 June, 2022 and should be a two hour meeting. If someone does a good job, then they can continue, and these meetings are held about twice a month. Bidding is therefore for this set of minutes as a one-off task, for which I would allow up to 5 hours, but could be done in less.
