[Businessmtg] ***** THANK YOU ***** The Consensus so far

[Steve Rankin]

Hi ASPers,
I'm extremely pleased again to report that we have another consensus. This
time it is on the Group Representative portion of our discussion to update
Motion #4 describing the Officer positions on the Steering Committee and
their rough job descriptions.
The consensus of the Business Meeting was clearly to accept the Steering
Committee's recommended changes to Motion #4 regarding the addition of the
new Group Representative service position.  The consensus is regarding the
adoption of the additional wording as follows:
===============================
Group Representative
*  The general duties and responsibilities of the Group Representative are
described in the current version of the Al-Anon Service Manual.
    *  Represents ASP in Virtual Area or other service arm as established by
the Al-Anon World Service Conference and/or World Service Office.
    *  Attends meetings of the Virtual Area, World Service Office and/or
other service arms.
    *  Reports to members of ASP regularly via the Business Meeting, and if
desirable or appropriate to the general membership of ASP via an
announcement in the recovery meeting.
    *  Is eligible to serve in position(s) beyond Group Representative as
established by the Al-Anon World Service Conference and/or World Service
Office.
*  Holds a seat on the ASP Steering Committee with voice and vote.
    *  Reports regularly to the Steering Committee on issues of interest to
ASP.
    *  Coordinates with Secretary to maintain ASP webpage with information.
    *  May incur reasonable expenses similar to face-to-face Group
