At least in AmE, "proceedings" can refer to the official record of a conference. It is often different from "minutes". "Proceedings" will contain the papers presented at a conference.

I would use "record the proceedings", or "make a note of the proceedings", if that's what you mean. Naturally, there are other verbs depending on what you are doing with the proceedings.
