UA GSR Committee
Meeting 9/17/17 Report
The UA GSR Committee met 9/17/2017 at 1:30pm EST. The following three orders of business were concluded.
1)
At the request of the WSC Prep Committee, we took two straw polls on Tentative Dates for the 2018 UA World Service Conference:
Straw poll on October 4 – 7, 2018 as a Tentative Date for the 2018 WSC: 7 Yays and 3 Nays.
Straw poll on October 25 – 28, 2018 as a Tentative Date for the 2018 WSC: 11 Yays and 0 Nays.
2)
Motion Passed Regarding Monthly UA GSR Committee Report
(Motion Passed Unanimously with 12 Yays; 0 Nays; 1 abstention)
“The GSR Committee is represented by the Chair. The Chair will draft a GSR Committee monthly report which only includes the GSR Committee’s motions that were passed and not passed and other group conscience votes and will send this report to the members of the GSR Committee and the General Service Board. The Chair’s name will be listed on the report. This report is the voice of the GSR Committee and the UA meeting groups.”
3)
Motion Passed to Amend the March 19, 2017 Motion regarding “Primary Purposes of the GSR Committee”
(Motion Passed Unanimously with 7 Yays; 0 Nays; 1 abstention)
“The March 19, 2017 Motion regarding ‘Primary Purposes of the GSR Committee’ read:
‘One of the primary purposes of the GSR Committee will be to establish a monthly list of concerns of the GSRs to be conveyed to the GSB via the Liaison at the monthly GSB meeting. The GSR Committee will have its own self-determining agenda.’
This motion AMENDS the language of the March 19, 2017 motion so it now reads:
‘One of the primary purposes of the GSR Committee will be to establish a monthly report to be conveyed to the GSB and the GSR Committee. The GSR Committee will have its own self-determining agenda.'”
By the way, this e-mail IS the first official “issue” of the above-mentioned report. It is for the month of September 2017.
Thanks!
Respectfully submitted,
Mark B. from New York
Chair of the GSR Committee of UA
