if the minutes are properly written, it's enough to ask for agreement on the minutes.
Yes, but you have to be careful. Many organizations follow a practice in which the members approve the minutes of each meeting sometime after the meeting (often, at the next meeting). But this "approval" is merely agreement that the minutes are an accurate representation of what happened at the meeting.
In the IETF, it's not good enough for the mailing list to agree that the minutes are _accurate_. They also need to agree with the decisions recorded therein.
Still, your point is well taken. Raw jabber logs certainly do not constitute minutes.
