When I Started working, I used to think that somebody taking meeting notes and then sending an email or publishing them somewhere for reference was a waste of time. The meeting notes used to include what everyone talked about etc,, which i used to feel was not useful. But now in our team meeting, especially in our team meeting we take notes but one thing we definitely do is to note down actions. Who will do what and by what time. This I think is really helpful. Sometimes during meeting as there are so many things discussed we tend to miss some of the issues. But by sending notes and by clearly stating actions for each one there is no chance for anybody to say they forgot or missed that part.
I think meeting notes done properly and following some accepted template add value to a meeting and after.

I agree with you. Taking notes for the sake of taking notes is a waste of time, but noting action items is very useful. I would assume that every person at a meeting would write down or make a mental note of what their action items are but many times people forget. Writing action items down and reminding people help them remember what they agreed to do and may also establish you in a situation of leadership and control, as if people would now report to you on their actions. This can however be a double edge sword because if you, for example, someone did not follow up on their items and you don't say anything then your credibility would suffer.
