Richard (and others), here goes - suppose we do not know (i.e. we lack non-linguistic context) if the minutes relate to a meeting, speech, address, examination, etc. but we do know that the minutes were taken by a person (chairman) or group of people (exam board). What would be the best way to express the above in English? Possibly none of the above would be good enough. Let's say we would like to say that 'our opinion is based on the chairman's minutes (minutes of the examination board) / minutes of the chairman' (examination board's minutes).
