Write down your plans, decisions, and reflections. It's something you should probably be doing anyway.

The only silly part is calling it a meeting, but people do seem to agree that's the terminology the IRS wants to see.

Actually, I guess there are two silly parts, although the second is arguably more sad than silly: you must be 100% clear that you are engaging in these activities with a profit motive and not for the love of learning, doing, helping... and if the IRS decides that your motive is not sufficiently (im)pure, you will owe considerable back taxes, interest, and fees.
