Hi Emee,

Thank you for your participation in ASP's business meeting!  Please be sure 
to stay "on topic" (this issue of length of time in ASP) while the Business 
Meeting is discussing agenda items and issues for reasons of efficiency and 
adherence to Business Meeting guidelines.

Hugs,
Jennifer

Thanks Steve, for the information on what positions are considered officer 
positions.



I agree 100% with another member of this business meeting, who said that it 
takes at least a year to get to know someone on-line and to be able to see 
how they are working the AL-ANON program in their lives. I would like to 
first see how a candidate for an officer position shares on the weekly 
Traditions and Concepts topics and how well they understand these 
principles. Little things that don't seem to be a big deal really are 
because they eventually dilute our program. It's a bit like becoming 
pregnant, no one notices at first but then after a while it cannot be 
missed.  The "Promisses" "Co-depend" "My qualifier" Crosstalk" etc, etc are 
all things that came into our program as not a big deal...but now they are. 
I think an officer should know why these things ARE a big deal and be 
willing to speak up and help the reast of us understand the importance of 
following our Traditions and Concepts.  Also, I do not think that officers 
should be dual members of other 12-Step programs, especially the AA program. 
When Al-Anon decisions on policy are made they ought to be made by Al-Anon 
members only..........f2f or on ASP.





Also, if it is not too much trouble, could we please have a list of business 
members in this meeting like we had last time?  Thanks.
