Transcripts are machine-made from the Islands Trust's own recordings; each speaker attribution carries a confidence mark (certain = identified by ear or hand, probable = matched to a saved voice), and every line links to the second of the recording so it can be checked. Motions, votes and attendance are taken from the Trust's published minutes and quote them verbatim.
