Old Business.
Steve reelected liaison to Service Structure Committee with Suzette as backup unamonously.
New business:
Motion 4 : Motion to Recommend that the General Service Board Continue to Allow Special Focus Groups to be Registered as UA Groups and that the General Service Board Wait to Implement Policy Changes Regarding Meeting Group Registration Until These Changes Have Been Approved by the World Service Conference
Pursuant to Tradition 4, the GSR Committee recommends that the General Service Board continues to allow “special focus groups” to be registered in UA and listed on the UA Website, as long as these meetings are open to all UA members to attend. (Examples of special focus groups are Selling with Serenity Meeting, Spiritual Marketing for Coaches and Consultants Meeting, Writers in Recovery Meeting, Musicians and Prosperity in the Arts Meeting, and 50 + Meeting). If the GSB would like there to be policy changes to existing meeting registration policy, we recommend that the GSB wait to implement these policy changes on registration until the new policy guidelines are approved by full discussion and vote at the World Service Conference, so there is full participation by the UA Fellowship. Pursuant to UA Proposed Concepts of World Service 1, 2 and 12 and AA Concepts of World Service 1,2 and 12, the World Service Conference is authorized to make policy decisions via discussion and vote, and the General Service Board is only authorized to administer these policy decisions . The GSR members and GSB members are the members who are entitled to discuss and vote on policy matters at the World Service Conference.
We request that the GSB circulate new proposed policy guidelines on the UA website regarding registration policy no later than 3 months before the WSC.
