Turn-around time for producing the first draft of the minutes

    The proceedings at the 10 meetings per year of the Board of Directors at our company are recorded and later transcribed into minutes. I am looking for the views of Corporate Secretaries on the turn-around time for producing the first draft of the minutes following a Board meeting, e.g. 5 working days, 10 working days. Any and all comments will be helpful.

    My goal is five working days for the draft to be presented to the CEO for review.  This means that the first draft has been prepared by the meeting note taker and then I have completed the next version.  The CEO usually turnsaround the review in a day or so and then this version is sent to the Chair for final review.  This enables the minutes to be prepared while eveything is still fresh in everyone's mind.

    I prepare the first drafts from the meeting materials and the Corporate Secretary's notes.  Timing depends on when I get those items (usually the first business day after the meeting) and I try to prepare a first draft for the Corporate Secretary's review within one business day.
