Agenda
WSC
GSR Rep requested $195 for expenses. However GSR hasn’t attended meetings in a few months.
Intergroup voted to get confirmation the GSR (Andrew) will attend and represent NY intergroup before committing the funds. Treasurer will reach out to GSR to confirm.
Issues to raise at WSC:
- By-laws of GSB don’t effectively support the fellowship
- Make sure GSB supports ninth tradition website as there is no current central repository for documents and minutes
- Recording of speakers and /or meetings
- Is the GSB following tradition 2 & 9 in the following areas
- No mission statement
- GSR’s no voice
- Lack of transparency
- Lack of UA By-Laws
- Lack of attraction
Transport – Intergroup officers are looking into car rental for transport to the WSC
Online – Protocols for online discussions
Crosstalk statement is needed for emails to limit critical posts. Adding “I” statement as a requirement was suggested as is done in other programs.
Discussion Forums
Possibly use Google Docs so that anyone can view a document, comment on it. Rather than having the document viewed at various stages of development. The document remains unchanged and comments can be made until consensus can be made as far as final edit.
Steps & Traditions meeting
We spoke with St. Margarets house. They have no availability, although they previously said there would be availability.
