PS: I interpret that final part as referring to conventions which is the
subject immediately proceedings.

In any event, the transparency and historical issues not addressed.

   The substitution of the word minutes for proceedings was inadvertent as

   look for themselves.  The ellipses is omitting one parenthetical
   comment noting that sometimes the meeting is called proceedings instead
   of meeting BUT IT IS THE SAME THING,  in supplementary commentary on
   RONR the reason is explained - it’s often used in legislative bodies
   BUT NOT exclusively.

   This IS ABOUT MINUTES as it is in the section about minutes.

   But awesome example of the fetishizing of RONR - the spirit of that
   paragraph and our commitment to transparency match this example
   perfectly.

   When I get home I will photograph the pages in order to show you are
   absolutely incorrect that the parenthetical comment meant it was NOT
   minutes only that they CAN BE CALLED something different.

   What’s interesting is the aversion to providing necessary detail for
   members to know what is going on.

        Well, that was an interesting edit of RONR.  Please note that the
        actual title of that section is "Publication of an Assembly's
        Proceedings", but your version has been rewritten to say
     "Publication
        of an Assembly's Minutes".
        The full quote goes on to note quite clearly that such a
     publication is
        NOT the minutes, but something different, but you converted that
        portion to an elipsis.  The final sentence of the full quote
        summarizes, "Any such record or transcript of the proceedings
     prepared
        for publication, however, does not take the place of the minutes,
     and
        it is the minutes which comprise the official record of the
     assembly's
        proceedings."
        Here's the full text:
        "PUBLICATION OF AN ASSEMBLY'S PROCEEDINGS. Sometimes a society
     wishes
        to have a full record of its proceedings made available to the
     public,
        and when such a record of the proceedings is to be published (in
     which
        case it is often called "proceedings," "transactions," or the
     like), it
        frequently contains, in addition to the information described
     above for
        inclusion in the minutes, a list of the speakers on each side of
     every
        question, with an abstract or the text of each address. In such
     cases
        the secretary should have an assistant. When it is desired, as in
     some
        conventions, to publish the proceedings in full, the secretary's
        assistant should be a stenographic reporter or recording
     technician.
        The presiding officer should then take particular care that
     everyone to
        whom he assigns the floor is fully identified. Under these
     conditions
        it is usually necessary to require members to use a public
     address
        system. Reports of committees should be printed exactly as
     submitted,
        the record showing what action was taken by the assembly in
     regard to
        them; or they can be printed with all additions in italics and
     parts
        struck out enclosed in brackets, in which case a note to that
     effect
        should precede the report or resolution. Any such record or
     transcript
        of the proceedings prepared for publication, however, does not
     take the
        place of the minutes, and it is the minutes which comprise the
     official
        record of the assembly's proceedings."
