Sec. of an Association for nearly nine years I have twice been asked the same question.

An e mail after the event asking me not to minute a request made by that person at a meeting that an item should be minuted. The meeting comprised of 12 people all told. The request by e mail being. Please do not minute my statement.

Questions:

1. Can I now leave the statemen out because it has been asked for by the person who made the statement?

2. Should it be entered as per the meeting?

3. Should it be left out and then mentioned with accompanying note that it has been left out due to a request by the person who made the statement?
