Send a copy of what was discussed to the interested parties to keep them abreast.

Lastly if you're heading the meeting, it is your responsibility you create a friendly, comfortable and productive environment for all the attendees also remember not to stretch the meeting too long as people start losing interest and start worrying about the work they are leaving undone to listen to you.
