I am confused. Did they even accomplish anything at that meeting, or did they simply agree they had no authority (and therefore no responsibility) and postpone any possibility of taking responsibility to the next meeting? o.o

Since the whole meeting was a power struggle between the pro-Fury/Avengers members and the anti-Fury/Avengers members, they'd probably all agree that they came out on top. They basically agreed that they didn't have enough information to discuss the issues further, and adjourned so that each group could go back and try to stack the decks in their favor before the next meeting.
I don't think they would *ever* agree that they had no authority.

Nice. Of course, once Tony Stark announces to the world that was indeed a nuke he was riding, they don't have a next meeting, being dissolved by unanimous vote of the UN Security Council.

Having had to suffer through far too many committee meetings that included exactly the sort of procedures that you've detailed, I find my self suffering from momentary flashbacks, and feel the need to go drink to excess to remove such images from my mind.
Thanks for the excuse. ;-)

I don't know why the World Security Council even bothers with weapons research. Just send to all their foes a copy of their committee minutes, and those baddies will drop dead from sheer boredom two seconds into reading this.
Edit - I wasn't bored by your funny story! It takes very good writing to make dry-as-dust official records into sardonic humor. Sorry if I offended you.

Sorry to hear that you were bored. Other people seemed to find it quite funny.
