Bylaws Chair: Brad Waldo

-Amendments to bylaws will be printed out next business meeting

-We’ll vote on these next meeting.

-For our group’s unity, it’s important that things be explained to people and not skipped on to the next topic.

-Kyle Concern: Bylaws protect us from having a simple majority for some things, but there are simple things we vote on that we may not be able to get to a 2/3 vote—believes that simple majority can serve us in some situations.

-Brad emphasized the point that when it’s 50/50, then half the group would go in a direction that they don’t want to go in. We need to go in one unified direction.

-Kyle: Situations like co-hosting events—a majority may not be necessary if those who voted to cohost attend and participate in the event.

-Brad: You never want it to be a simple majority because then half the meeting is left upset.

-Saturn: We need a 2/3 vote because it protects us as a group. The bylaws protects the group from the individual.

-Saturn Tradition 7 Report: Every AA group is to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.

*This is something to implement in your individual life.

-Ally Concept 6 Report—On behalf of AA as a while, our General Service Conference has the principal responsibility for the maintenance of our world service, and it traditionally has the final decision respecting large matters of general policy and finance. But the conference also recognizes that the chief initiative and the active responsibility in most of the matters should be exercised

primarily by the Trustee member of the Conference when they act among themselves as the General

Service Board of Alcoholics Anonymous.
