To people who take minutes in T10 meetings:

Please note that while ad hoc groups (a.k.a., working groups) are not required to follow these rules, I think it is a good idea they follow as much of these 'required elements' as is practical. Obviously ad hoc groups do not have permanent memberships, so do not need to report membership changes.
