Committee Room

A private room for committee business.

Committee business should not live in a personal WhatsApp thread that vanishes when someone leaves the group. The Committee Room is a private space, visible only to your committee, where you can chat ad hoc, share files, run committee votes, and keep meeting minutes. Everything is kept as one auditable record, cleanly separated from what members see in their feed.

  • Private to your committee
  • Ad-hoc chat with attachments
  • Committee votes and decisions
  • Meeting sessions and minutes
  • Auditable, exportable record

What you can do

The full feature surface

Private committee chat

A dedicated thread for the people running the club. Discuss the things that are not ready for members yet, with the confidence that nothing leaks into the public feed.

Share the files that matter

Attach agendas, quotes, draft policies, and spreadsheets directly to the conversation, so the document and the discussion about it stay together instead of scattered across inboxes.

Run committee votes

Put a decision to the committee and capture the result in the room. Approvals, spending decisions, and motions are recorded where the discussion happened, not lost in a flurry of replies.

Meeting sessions and minutes

Open a session for a meeting, take minutes against it, and keep the agenda, discussion, and decisions in one place. Reminders help make sure the committee turns up.

An auditable record

Because it lives in Comnly rather than someone’s phone, the Committee Room is a durable, auditable record of how decisions were made, which matters for governance and for handing over to next year’s committee.

Export when you need it

Export a session and its minutes when you need a formal record, for the AGM pack, the books, or simply your own files.

Use the private chat for the day-to-day back and forth, with files attached where they belong, kept away from the member feed.

STEP 02

Decide it

Run a committee vote or open a meeting session, take minutes, and capture the decision against the discussion that led to it.

STEP 03

Keep the record

Everything stays as an auditable history you can export, so governance is covered and handover is painless.

FAQ

Common questions

Who can see the Committee Room?

Only members of your committee. It is permission-controlled and completely separate from the member feed, so ordinary members never see committee discussion, files, or votes.

How is this different from the member polls?

Member polls are for asking the whole club a question. Committee Room votes are for the committee’s own decisions, recorded privately alongside the discussion. The two serve different audiences.

Why not just use WhatsApp for committee chat?

A personal WhatsApp group is convenient but it is not a record. People leave, messages disappear, and there is no audit trail when a decision is questioned. The Committee Room keeps committee business in one durable, exportable place that survives committee turnover.

Can we keep meeting minutes here?

Yes. You can open a session for a meeting, take minutes against it, and export the result when you need a formal record. Agenda, discussion, and decisions stay together.

Is the Committee Room included in the standard plan?

Yes. The Committee Room is part of the standard Comnly subscription. There is nothing extra to buy.
