> need to say, truth.

> That being said I would like to add the following:  keeping it simple:
>

>      A). These questions are not part of our current agenda and the chair
> of the business meeting is failing to do the job responsibly
>
>             by creating it and allowing it to continue.
>

B).    The group needs to reach a group conscience on whether to have a
> group inventory. The list administrator is not part of the decision or
> makes up questions.   The is the members of the group's responsibility.
>
> C).  We need to have a group conscience in order for us to have an
> inventory.  The way to do this is for someone to bring it up as an agenda
> topic in the *next* business meeting.  To have a group conscience.
>

D). The way to do this is it needs to be added to the agenda for the next
> BM, by a member, other than the LA.  The LA may be *given* requests for
> topics to be added to the next BM agenda.
>
> E).    Then in the next BM, the group gets to decide the HOW to do the
> inventory, by a group conscience.  There are several ways to do this
> located in the guideline.
>
> F).   According to the Alanon program principles which were adapted for
> this online group meeting I would like to say the following about the two
> initial inflammatory posts both J and S made about St. in the beginning of
> this business meeting.
>  These posts were very distracting and created a lot of dissension among
> members.    They detracted from our primary spiritual aim of unity.
>
> I would like to formally report these two people and their posts to the
> steering committee, where it needs to be handled.   And if it can't be
> resolved there, then an outside Alanon source, World Service Organization,
> may need to be notified to bring in assistance.

Thank you for letting me share.
Peace
