 Hi ASPers,

Welcome to the ASP Business Meeting for October 2012!

The participants include: Jenny, Kara, Mary Beth, Sandie, Karin, Linda, Judy, 
Emee, 

Jen, Adele,  Jerry, Nancy, Stephanie, James, JT, Sarah,Steve, Laura, 
Anne,Brenda,
Denise, Anne, & Melanie.  Thank you for your service!

The address for the business meeting is:  businessmtg at asp-afg.org .  
This is the address you will use to send in shares to the Business 
meeting.  Please do not send your business shares to the recovery meeting.

There are two basic topics before ASP; one is critical to ASP, while 
the other is significant but not critical.  We will address the 
critical topic before proceeding to the second topic.

 1.  Election of new officer.

 2.  Financial affairs.

 A brief Summary of the topics:

We are going to start by electing a new List Administrator.

 The process will go like  this:

 1.    We announce that the position of List Administrator is open.

2.    Any member of ASP meeting the qualifications** for the 
 Officers of ASP may make themselves available.  The qualifications 
 to serve as an officer of ASP are listed below under "Important Notes".

Members make themselves available by providing their Al-Anon resume 
to the Chair of this meeting.  If you are interested in making 
 yourself available for one of the ASP Officer positions, please 
 complete the resume form and submit it to me no later than midnight, 
 October 8th (CST). To obtain a resume form, go 
 to http://www.asp-afg.org/Archived%20Pages/index.htm and beneath 
 "Resume" click on either format (MS Word Document, Adobe PDF or  HTML)
 .  Save the format, complete and email back to me at steve at serenitysys.com.

 3.    The deadline for submitting a resume is Midnight, Monday, October 
8th CST.

 4.    The meeting will re-open so that members may ask the 
 candidate(s) questions.  Please keep your questions appropriate to 
 Al-Anon.  Do NOT post messages unrelated to the election of the List 
Administrator.

 5.    The Q&A period for the election of the Secretary will close at
 Midnight, Monday, October 15th, UNLESS there is some highly 
 unlikely and unforeseen issue that suggests that we need to continue 
 the Q&A session.

 6.    If we do not have more than one member available for the  position, the
 Chair  will entertain a motion to elect the new Officer 
 by acclimation - it will require a vote however to affirm such a 
 motion.

 7.    The Web Master will create a polling page on the ASP web site 
 which is how we will actually vote.

 8.    We will announce the location of the polling page - this sometimes
 takes a day or so.

 9.    There will be no discussion while the polls are open - the Business
 Meeting server will be on moderated status while the polls to ensure 
 that this protocol is not violated.

 10.  The poll will close at Midnight of the third FULL day after the
 polling page has been announced.

 11.  A simple majority is required to elect a Trusted Servant at ASP.

 12.  The Chair will announce the outcome of the vote/poll to the  Business
 Meeting, and make a similar announcement to the
 ASP recovery meeting.

 IMPORTANT NOTES:

 A. The prerequisite to serving as an ASP officer: "One year's participation
 in ASP is a prerequisite to serving as an officer of ASP.  
 Participation may take many forms, but merely having one's email 
 address on the ASP server is not participation."

 B. The prerequisites for ASP List Administrator: "A member of ASP 
 must have served ASP in some other officer capacity for 1 year in 
 addition to any other minimum qualifications for ASP Officers."

 C. "Members of AA who are also members of ASP are not eligible to 
 serve as Officers of ASP or on the ASP Steering Committee."

 If you have any questions please feel free to contact 
 steve at serenitysys.com  or me directly at melaniemalias-melanie at yahoo.com.

 Love and Serenity,

 Melanie
