R. Alex Jenkins Feb 23, 2007:
It's quite embarrassing to be wrong and still win the points. As you can see, I've edited the Glossary term myself to reflect that it's different to my original answer. That probably means that it looks like I'm trying to take credit for the answer that was not mine. Not my style - please accept my apologies for having offended so much.

Unfortunately for you, rhandler is quite right. Even a nodding acquaintance with company procedures should make it clear what's referred to here.
R. Alex Jenkins Feb 21, 2007:
Only by looking at and analysing your document can you be sure. Thanks for the points - it was my guess and what seemed the most consistent. All the best.
rhandler Feb 21, 2007:
The document is not called "previous minutes", but "minutes of the previous stockholders meeting". You made your choice, you'll have to live with it. Good luck.

Thank you, Thais, but the asker has already made her choice.
agree lexical : Ralph, it's rather late but I just wanted to support the line you've taken. Is there any chance you can amend the Kudoz database for this answer - we can't allow it to stand as it is and mislead people for years to come.

Thank you, lexical. I can't have access to the glossary, all I can do is ask a moderator to come in.
