A quick definition of dispense with the reading of the minutes:
Term: DISPENSE WITH THE READING OF THE MINUTES
Definition: When people have a meeting, someone writes down what they talked about and what they decided. These notes are called "minutes." Usually, at the next meeting, someone reads the minutes out loud to make sure everyone remembers what happened. But sometimes, the group can decide to skip reading the minutes out loud. This is called "dispensing with the reading of the minutes." It doesn't mean they won't look at the minutes at all, just that they won't read them out loud. If the minutes have already been printed and given to everyone, they can still be corrected and approved without reading them out loud again.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: To skip reading the minutes of a previous meeting during a current meeting.
Example: During the meeting, the chairperson suggested that they dispense with the reading of the minutes from the last meeting since everyone had already received a copy of it. The members agreed and moved on to the next agenda item.
Explanation: This means that instead of reading the minutes out loud during the meeting, the members can simply refer to the printed copy that they have received beforehand. This saves time and allows the meeting to move forward more efficiently.
