Ready-made templates
Every item declares its type: for information, for discussion, or for decision. An item whose type is unknown consumes twice its time.
Each template downloads as Word to fill in and PDF to print. And what you see on this page is exactly what lands in the file.

A template solves the single session and nothing after it: a Word file lives in one person's inbox, answers no question about where an item got to, reminds nobody of a deadline, and cannot be found by whoever joins a year later.
That is what Diwan was built for: the item written in the minutes becomes a task with an owner, a date and a status, and stays linked to its minutes. Use the template today; if it runs out on you, the next step is known.
Yes. You click and the file downloads — no sign-up, no email, no pop-up. If we asked for your email in exchange for a sheet of paper, the sheet would be bait rather than help.
Yes, the Word file is fully editable. Put your organisation's name and logo on it and keep your own copy.
Because the ordering of sections in minutes is a convention, not a translation. Each template was written to its own language's convention rather than translated literally into a sheet nobody uses.
Yes, upload the Word file to Google Docs and it opens with its tables and direction intact.
