The requirements of ISO/IEC 17024 Sections 10.2.5.2 and 10.2.5.3 are much more prescriptive than other requirements in the Standard. So conformance requires specific information.
There must be an annual Top Management Meeting to comply with requirements 10.2.5.2 and 10.2.5.3 of ISO/IEC 17024. The standard requires that nine specific items appear on the agenda, and the Agenda below reflects those nine items.
Top Management can mean any officers of the certification body. In a small corporation it may be the President and Vice-President. In a large corporation it may be the Vice-President of Personnel and the Vice-President of Training. The configuration is left for you to define.
In addition to the agenda, the minutes of the meeting with top management must also reflect the three outputs specified by 10.2.5.3. These are included in the form: Top Management Meeting Minutes.docx.
