I would like to ask how the minutes should be created through the trial.
Regarding the expert meeting where the countermeasures against the new coronavirus were discussed, the government did not prepare the minutes because it was not a meeting that records the speakers and the content of the statements in the guidelines for managing administrative documents.

It means that "Overview of" has been released.
The NPO corporation said, "It is clearly decided in the guidelines of administrative documents that the minutes are the ones that describe the speaker and the content of the statement. Even if the outline of the proceedings that the speaker does not understand is published, the document is different and it is unreasonable. ", And filed a lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court seeking cancellation of the national decision.
At the press conference, NPO Chairman Yukiko Miki said, "The minutes are important because they keep a record of the government's policy decisions being made by many people. It's not just a matter of expert meetings, but other meetings of the country. It may also have a negative impact on the minutes of the meeting, and I would like to clarify what the minutes should be taken through the trial. "
