Oh boy, you left that one wide open! Leaving aside a lot of things in the Real World(tm) which weren't done at meetings and weren't minuted, I've been on several committees now wher a lot of the decisions are taken outside meetings, by phone calls (not conference calls, which could be classed as a 'meeting' of sorts, but individual calls to several of the committee members) and not minuted (indeed, one committee I was on we kept no minutes at all, we kept our own lists of things we had to do and that was all). I can assure you that theings did indeed 'happen'. (And if you really believe that all governmental decisions are made at meetings and minuted -- I have this land in Florida you might like, and I can get a bridge really cheap...)
