[Businessmtg] Districting

[Lynne]

Hi, 

First, it seems to me that the biggest problem is one that the GEA cannot solve. And that is that there is only ONE Area for all 1000+ electronic groups across the world. 

The second biggest problem in my opinion is that F2F groups that went electronic during the pandemic, are now being counted as an electronic meeting in the GEA instead of in their Geographic based district/Area. I get that once you open a meeting to the world that there could be people joining a meeting in San Diego that live in Argentina, etc. However, I’d be interested to know if that is actually common. I don’t know. But if a meeting is electronic but based in one city/region, then I don’t understand why it is in the GEA and not their geographic Area. But again, I don’t know if this is something the GEA can fix. It sounds like an WSO issue. And it is not in the scope of the district task force. 

I mention those though because the issue of forming districts in the GEA is linked to both of these other decisions, which we have no control over. 

Aside from all the issues I have with the GEA and the district task force recs, I want ASP to be in a district with other 24/7meetings. That is the most important thing to me. It is not clear to me whether or not that will happen based on the task force recommendations, as so many details will not be ironed out until after they are approved (or not). But I trust Anne to represent our interests. I also want to thank her for her hard work as our GR! 

Hugs,
Lynne
