Pattern Variation: One Move on the Meeting-Notes Template

Target: your team's meeting-notes template (if none, the common form — title, date/time, attendees, agenda, discussion, decisions, action items). This template is made of several implicit rules. For example: 'record in chronological order,' 'note the speaker,' 'gather decisions at the end,' and so on.

First, break down and write out 3 or more rules that make up this meeting-notes template. Choose exactly 1 rule to change, and redesign the template with the changed rule. Your answer must include (1) 3+ original rules and each one's reason for existing, (2) the 1 changed rule (from what to what), (3) the concrete look of the redesigned template, and (4) 2 or more grounds for why it's better than the original.
