Yes, the uncompleted action will still be in the context menu (if I were showing all available actions), and yes, I know that I should then be able to figure out that I still need to finish that action. You're definitely right about that. The problem was that it didn't show up in the perspective looking only at "Next Actions," and that seemed wrong, since it was indeed the next action I needed to perform.

At the risk of getting into a semantic debate and looking like more of a dork than I really am -- the idea of the "next iteration of the meeting" is founded on the idea that it's a repeating project, which OmniFocus forces it to be. It's really not -- each meeting is its own, independent event. Attendees won't understand if I explain to them that I didn't send out a meeting agenda because I hadn't sent out the minutes of the last meeting, and therefore, that meeting wasn't over yet... :-)
An alternate way of doing things would be to have it always remind me when it was time to send out an agenda, regardless of whether I had sent out minutes or not. That's what I was going for. Let the people at the meeting chide me for my poor minute-sending, but at least they'll have an agenda for the current meeting!
This is my first day with OF -- I just have to learn a little about the logic behind it. I'll stick with it. Thanks again for your help!
