## What's new

- **Meetings.** `Report > Meetings` lists your panel and board meetings. Each has a title, date,
  attendees (an Admin Group or named Administrators and assessors), its grants, and an ordered
  agenda of their applications with agenda notes. See
  [Run a meeting](/administrator/reports/meetings).
- **Meeting packs.** `Generate meeting pack` builds one PDF: a cover, the agenda, a summary page per
  application, scoring matrices and a decision sheet, with the application number on every page.
  Every version is kept and numbered, and `Share with attendees` sends the latest to each
  attendee's portal. Anyone with a declared conflict gets a copy with that application withheld.
- **Ministerial briefs.** Choose `Ministerial brief – Commonwealth` or `Ministerial brief – NSW` to
  add the decision sought, guidelines and selection process, and rate each application against each
  criterion as met, partly met or not met.
- **Minutes.** Record attendance, notes and each item's outcome, rationale and dissent, then
  `Finalise minutes` to lock them. `Record decisions` opens a funding decision with the agenda's
  applications already ticked.
