The minutes of the second meeting should have recorded fully and clearly the reasons why those of the previous meeting were amended. If, for example, there was a technical mistake (acronym confusion?) or perhaps words used in anger then an amendment is reasonable.
One place I worked there were one or two people who, at every meeting, had an amendment, usually grammatical to the previous minutes. Both lawyers, one at least of whom enjoyed his reputation as a bit of a gadfly.
It was a sport for them.....
