- Decisions - bulleted, with the owner. One line each.

- Open questions - numbered. The list you bring to the next meeting.
Sending notes well
Notes that get acted on are notes that fit on one page. The Meeting Notes template defaults to no cover and no ToC for that reason. Circulate within an hour of the meeting - that is when memory is still cheap and corrections are easy.
