Summary
Meeting Format, Donations, and Speaker
In the meeting, Paul led the discussion about the meeting format and donation allocation. The group decided to make their meetings open with discussions confined to alcoholism and considered having a Google voice number for easy access to meeting information. They also discussed the allocation of donations, with 20% going to Oia and the remaining balance after expenses and prudent reserve going to Gso. Technical issues related to AI features and the use of Genesis on Google meets were also addressed. The meeting minutes were posted on the website, and the group decided to update the meeting directions to include enabling AI transcription at the beginning of the meetings. Mark, a new member, proposed hosting a "Dealer's Choice" meeting on March 1st and sought a group conscience on having a female speaker. The group also discussed the need for a group conscience on when to celebrate the same day.
Procedural Matters and Meeting Rules
The group discusses and votes on several procedural matters for their meetings. They decide that when there are two people with anniversaries on the same day, the person with less sobriety time should be given priority to speak. They also agree to include a note in the meeting preamble stating that emojis are not allowed on screen during meetings. The group reaffirms that it is the responsibility of the weekly host to check the calendar for member anniversaries and invite them to speak. Additionally, they approve allowing a female speaker for the "dealer's choice" 10 PM meeting. The meeting concludes with a recap of decisions made and the Lord's Prayer.
