CONFERENCE REPORT

C.A. WORLD SERVICE CONFERENCE 2022

STRUCTURE AND BYLAWS REPORT

 

 

INTRODUCTION AND COMMENTS:

May our service reflect how fortunate we think we are for having found this solution in this fellowship. While S&B Committee work can at times feel a bit like wordsmithing, far removed from the frontline, we remain acutely aware that everything we do is for one reason only. That the fellowship may be robust and stand strong for the addict who still suffers even if they do not even know it, yet. Let’s keep this house strong for them, particularly in times of change.

Two S&B motions reflect the changing landscape of Cocaine Anonymous: A Motion to adapt the maps presented by the maps subcommittee, and a motion to create a new Standing Conference Committee for online meetings. Special thanks to the trusted servants who paved the way for these.

Thank you if you sent us feedback after reviewing SR14 mailing. We realize that this information may be useful:

  • We received feedback regarding a motion to add gender-neutral language in the WSM. We will be prepared to present a full WSM with strike-through/bold language demonstrating the how of this. In a nutshell, we would propose to follow the referral maker’s suggestion to replace “she or he” with “they” as is customary in current language usage.
  • We are bringing motion a motion for areas starting with 2 votes, back to the floor because after the 2021 Conference several members told us they would have voted differently if it had been made clearer how this proposed change is intended. Please see the graph in the SR14 mailing for clarity. The result should be more fairness for each member of Cocaine Anonymous having more equitable rights of participation.
  • We at S&B believe that the WSM outlines structure, while the Committee guidelines outline details and specifics.

We humbly present the below motions and look forward to seeing you at conference.

S&B 2021-04

Referral Maker: (…) CAUK Area

Summary of Referral: Online District Wording Project

Hi, within CAUK we have a group of “online meetings” which have started up during the COVID19 lockdown and are now planning to continue meeting Online once lockdown has been lifted. They are looking at starting an “Online District“ within the CAUK Area.

The wording in the WSM states “A District is a geographical unit within an Area containing a number of groups within a close proximity, which find it necessary to unify” In the same way that the WSM wording was altered when the OSA was set up as an Area can the wording in the WSM be changed to allow Online Districts Ie “ A District is usually a geographical unit within an Area containing a number of groups within a close proximity, which find it necessary to unify. Areas may also recognise Districts who’s boundaries do not fit a geographical unit” Also further down in the description of a District it states “The most important function is to serve the needs of the local meetings” Can this be changed to “The most important function is to serve the needs of its meetings”

5.Motion: To add new language to the WSM, p. 22, District:

A District is a geographical unit within an Area containing a number of groups within a close proximity, which find it necessary to unify. For an online District, ‘geography’ and ‘close proximity’ are not necessarily relevant. A District has …

per week of its groups (excluding H&I), then that Area will be entitled to one additional vote; and one additional vote for every additional fifty (50) meetings per week of its groups (or portion Thereof). If an Area has any question concerning the number of votes to which it is entitled, that Area should contact its Regional Trustee or the WSO. Below is a chart for clarification:

S&B 2021-21

Referral Maker: Michael M.

Summary of Referral: Hello. I would like to put in a request to this committee to make some changes to the World Service Manual (WSM) with regards to gender specific language. There are many examples throughout the WSM where it refers to people specifically as ‘his or her’ for example: (the page numbers provided are referencing the PDF version so may not match the printed version as the PDF includes the title page as Page 1) Page 11 paragraph 3 states ‘while each member of CA is free to make his or her own interpretation of CA Tradition…’ Page 31.2 states ‘Prior to the Conference, the Delegate transmits SR-14 material to his or her Area through Area and District Meetings as well as to individual groups’ This also occurs in .3 & 4.

The remainder of these are on:

Page 37 paragraph 3

Page 39 paragraph 1

Page 41 paragraph 6

Page 46 final paragraph

Page 47 paragraph 2

Page 48 point F

Page 50 Point 5D

Page 60.6

Page 4 of 12

Page 60.7

Page 80 paragraph 3 & 7

Page 80 penultimate paragraph

Page 84 final paragraph

This language has the potential to be exclusive to any members that identify as non-binary. There is a rapid growth of LGBTQ+ members throughout our fellowship, many who identify as such. It would be considered correct use of modern parlance when referring to individuals in a nonspecific manner to use the singular pronoun ‘they/them/their’ – as a reference the American Psychological Association says in their 7th Edition of their format suggestions ‘Use singular “they” as a gender-neutral pronoun- use they instead of he or she’. I am aware that in the spirit of Tradition Six we are not affiliated with any outside enterprise but a reference can’t hurt. I feel that in the spirit of Unity we ought to do the best we can to ensure that ALL our members feel included.

  1. Motion: To make changes to the WSM to be gender neutral by replacing all gendered pronouns, for example “he or she” with “they;” throughout the WSM excluding the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, 12 Concepts of Service, and Article 10 of the Conference Charter.

S&B 2021-29

Referral Maker: Susan B., Online Service Area

Summary of Referral: That the WSC Structure and Bylaws Committee form a new Standing Committee at the Conference level for Online Meeting Services.

  1. Motion: To create an Online Services Committee as a new World Service Conference Standing Committee.

S&B 2022-03

Referral Makers: Russell S. and Duane M.

Summary of Referral: x2 year terms (possible 6yrs) is overly long and conflicts with our spirit of rotation. Please discuss the benefits, and allowance for rotation and diversity in service positions, of reducing this to a maximum of 2 x2 year terms (max 4 years). While we have initially sent this to S&B due to the guidance set within the WSM we respectfully request, and encourage, that a discussion within the WSC Conference Committee may also be required and trust you will consider suggesting a discussion with feedback and conclusions of that committee (WSC Conf Comm) prior, during or after your committee discussions.

  1. Motion: To make the following change to the WSM, p. 49, Conference Officer terms: 2. The term of a Conference Officer shall be for a period of two Conferences. Conference Officers may be elected to serve a total of three two terms for that particular office

S&B 2022-05

Referral Maker: Sarah T, WSBT.

Summary of Referral: Motion to refer to S&B a referral to add to the Statement of Policy. The reason for this referral is for members to use the C.A. logo in the manners it was intended.

Existing language from C.A. WSM p13 Statement of Policy

Page 5 of 12

f. The service body granting the use of the C.A. logo shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper C.A. logo, with applicable trademarks as shown below, is used on printed materials and memorabilia.

New language

f. The service body granting the use of the C.A. logo shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper C.A. logo, with applicable trademarks as shown below, is used on printed materials and memorabilia. Areas may not license C.A.’s name or logo to third parties, or use these trademarks in a way that confuses the line between the Areas and Cocaine Anonymous World Services. CAWS, with a friendly amendment that sales sales should be limited to memorabilia rather than general merchandise items.

  1. Motion: To add new language to the WSM, p. 13, “Statement of Policy”: f) The service body granting the use of the C.A. logo shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper C.A. logo, with applicable trademarks as shown below, is used on printed materials and memorabilia. Committees are asked to be ever mindful of our Traditions when using the C.A. logo and creating items for sale and seek guidance if uncertain.

S&B 2022-06

Referral Maker: Sarah T., WSBT

Summary of Referral: WSBT referral to S&B to address personal data protection ‘Data Protection at In both our Long Term Planning and International Structure & Development subcommittees. Although our World Service Office is below the size threshold required by State Legislature to abide by ‘Data Protection’ regulations, we operate internationally with Areas in countries where the regulations are mandatory. We believe that attention to personal data protection regulations is something that our Fellowship should engage with and to that end we ask that you work up outline guidance for inclusion in our World Service Manual. Currently a host of personal information is being collected and circulated without any consideration of the implications.

This is particularly concerning for an anonymous fellowship. See below the briefing document from IS&D for S&B reference.

General Data Protection Policy document dated 2020.11.01 with particular attention paid to the six questions on the checklist at the end of the document. (see Appendix B)

  1. Motion: To add new language to the WSM suggesting data protection best practices, following the “Statement of Policy”:

When collecting personal information of Cocaine Anonymous members, it is necessary for the respective service body to take great consideration in the protection of that personal data. Areas to consider are covered by the following questions:

  1. What type of personal information do we hold?
    1. Are we collecting too much data?
    2. Can we reduce the amount of data we collect?

 

2. Why do we collect the data?

    1. What are we doing with it?
    2. Have we told the individual what we are doing with it?
    3. Do they fully understand what happens to their information once they give it to us?

3. Do we check it regularly?

Page 6 of 12

a. Do we review and update the data we hold?

4. How do we store it?

 a. Do we keep information safe and secure?

b. Is it password protected?

c. Are all storage devices we use encrypted?

5. How long do we store it?

a. How do we make sure we only keep people’s information for as long as we need it?

b. Do we have a data retention policy?

6. If someone asks us to provide, delete or transfer their information, can we?

a. Can we easily and quickly search and find people’s information if they ask for it?

b. If an outside organization or members requests the information collected, is providing the information a violation of our traditions?

S&B 2021-20

Referral Maker: Mikey M.

Summary of Referral: Hello, I noticed in the World Service Manual there seems to be some conflicting information with regards to the length of term for a in the ‘Procedures for Delegate/Alternate Delegate elections (page 31) and the Conference Charter (page 70). Page 30.4 it states ‘The Delegates and Alternate Delegates are to be elected for a term of four (4) Conferences, within a period of four (4) consecutive years. It is suggested that the spirit of rotation be followed.’

However, in the Conference Charter, Page 70.6 it states ‘. Term of Office of Delegates: The Area Delegates are to be elected for a term of four (4) Conferences. It is suggested that the spirit of rotation be followed. (WSC Amendment, 1996)’ This information seems to be in conflict with regards to whether it is purely for 4 Conferences or within 4 consecutive years. I understand that this may only cause conflict due to the current circumstance with regards to the postponement of the 2020 Conference due to the global pandemic but I believe this may highlight a need to maybe address the information provided, unless there is some clarification that could be given with regards to this, and potentially make a change through the Structure & Bylaws Committee so that this information doesn’t conflict.

S&B 2022-07

Referral Maker: Vicki R., North Texas Area

Summary of Referral: For clarity and to prevent misunderstanding should an event occur where the Conference cannot be held, please see the attached comments/suggestions concerning changing the term “year(s)” to “conference(s)”. Please see attachment (Appendix C)

  1. Motion: To change the term “year(s)” to “conference(s)” in the following instances: p.33 PROCEDURES FOR DELEGATE/ALTERNATE ELECTION; item “4”

 

  1. The Delegates and Alternate Delegates are to be elected for a term of four (4) Conferences, within a period of four (4) consecutive years conferences. It is suggested that the spirit of rotation be followed.

S&B 2022-10

Referral Maker: Vicki R., North Texas Area

Summary of Referral: SR-12. I find the wording to be confusing. Please consider revising. My understanding of this Standing Rule pertains to Main Motions and what needs to be read to the Conference floor in order to capture it in the minutes.

  1. Motion: to make the following changes to the WSM, p. 53, Standing Rule 12:

. Main Motions shall be read to the Conference before voting. The tally results shall be announced for all counted votes upon request from the Conference floor. The following sections of a committee’s report do not need to be read to the Conference: Referrals or item’s items that did not result in Motions, Motions that are tabled until next year, items that the committee will be working on through the year, or that are referred to other committees, as well as reports by the World Service Office or the World Service Board of Trustees need not be read into the report, however however, questions may be asked about any part of a committee’s report.

S&B 2021-14

Referral Maker: Russell S., WSC Conference Committee

Summary of Referral: Revision to Page 30 in the World Service Manual to revise Delegate responsibilities to include knowledge of the World Service Manual, as well as ensuring they have been credentialed.

Since the Delegate is a representative of their Area to the WSC Conference, they should have a working knowledge of the World Service Manual. In addition, the current responsibility for credentialing delegates falls on the Area Chair, but the Delegate should assume part of the responsibility to ensure they are credentialed. World Service Manual Page 30

WORLD SERVICE CONFERENCE DELEGATE

The Delegate’s Job is a Spiritual One!

  1. Conference Delegates are required to have a working knowledge of the Twelve Steps, the Twelve Traditions, the Twelve Concepts of Service, the Standing Rules for the C.A. World Service Conference and the World Services Conference Charter.

 

  1. Delegates should ensure that they have been credentialed annually by their Area Chairperson providing their complete name, complete mailing address, email address, phone number, and the number of votes they are carrying using the current credentialing platform.

Page 8 of 12

  1. Motion: To make the following changes to the WSM, p. 32, delegates:
  2. Conference Delegates are required to have a working knowledge of the Twelve Steps, the Twelve Traditions, the Twelve Concepts of Service and the World Services Manual, in particular the Twelve Steps, the Twelve Traditions, The Twelve Concepts, the Standing Rules for the C.A. WSC, and the Conference Charter.

[…]

  1. Delegates should ensure that they have been credentialed by their Area Chairperson upon election, providing their full name, email address, phone number, and the number of votes they carry.

 

  1. Motion: To make the WSM document more accessible, attractive, and user-friendly by: adopting the C.A. brand guide; harmonizing the table of contents with harmonized headlines and sub-headlines; moving the “BYLAWS OF COCAINE ANONYMOUS WORLD SERVICES, INC.” to the appendix.

 

REFERRALS THAT WERE FORWARDED TO OTHER COMMITTEES: n.a.

REFERRALS STILL IN COMMITTEE:

S&B 2021-28

Referral Maker: Christie L, WSC Public Information Committee

Summary of Referral: The WSCPI Committee respectfully submits the following verbiage for inclusion on page 41 in the World Service Manual, to be inserted after the paragraph regarding the global poster campaign: The Public Information Committee shall organize an annual Public Information “Cooperating with Professional Communities” campaign to encourage the fellowship worldwide to become involved in a weeklong event during the third week of January. This week is dedicated to reaching out to Professional Communities (including, but not limited to medical and healthcare professionals, Criminal Justice organizations, Industry HR and Occupational Health departments) giving them information about who we are, what we do and how we can be of help to them and their clients / service users / employees.

S&B 2022-02

Referral Maker: Chad

Summary of Referral: Meetings that are listed in multiple areas. Please see attachment in referral folder. (see Appendix D)

RESPONSE: If a conference committee for online meetings is formed, they would be the ideal service body to address this issue.

S&B 2022-13

Referral Maker: Kevin M, New Mexico Area

Summary of Referral: Change SR13 to read:

Any motion made at the Conference which changes the WSC structure or a WSC committee structure or which has a significant effect upon the World Service Conference, a World Service Committee, the World Service Manual or C.A. as a whole must be referred to <strike>the appropriate committee</strike> <new language>every committee that it might possibly effect</new language> prior to consideration.

This is to bring the rule into line with the chair’s current interpretation.

Page 9 of 12

S&B 2022-14

Referral Maker: Russell S

Summary of Referral: Please consider updating the current chart on page 13 of the WSM.

Please see attached.

The chart needs to reflect the actual structure as clearly outlined and the current chart can be misleading. Areas (through their delegates) link directly into conference with no regional involvement excepting TEC & Trustee Slate nominations. (see appendix E)

S&B 2022-15

Referral Maker: Rodney D, Greater Missouri Area

Summary of Referral: on Page 43 change title at the top of the page from “WSC COMMITTEES STATEMENTS OF PURPOSE” to “WSC COMMITTEES DESCRIPTIONS AND STATEMENTS OF PURPOSES.” Most of the committees describe the committee and/or its responsibilities along with their purpose.

CLOSED REFERRALS:

S&B 2021-38

S&B 2022-01 (re-submitted)

Referral Maker: Vicki R., North Texas Area

Summary of Referral: Housekeeping: Please correct the numbering of the Minimum Qualifications for the Conference Chairperson on p. 46 of 2020 WSM (it currently reads: a, b, c, b, c, d).

RESPONSE: Actioned under housekeeping.

S&B 2022-04

Referral Maker: Sarah T, WSBT.

Summary of Referral: Request for withdrawal/closure of ‘Referral S&B 2021-08’ (consider what happens when conference cannot take place) RESPONSE: Actioned as requested.

S&B 2022-08

Referral Maker: Vicki R., North Texas Area

Summary of Referral: Vice Chairperson pg 48 of the wsm. In order to allow the Committee group conscience flexibility in determining a replacement of the Committee Chairperson due to vacancy prior to term end, I suggest the following change:

2022 WSM p. 48

COMMITTEE VICE-CHAIRPERSON

a. Becomes Chairperson and assumes all Chairperson responsibilities, for balance of Chair term in event of Chairperson vacancy until a new Committee Chairperson can be elected by the Committee.

This change would make the duty of the Committee Vice-Chair consistent with the Conference ViceChair as it relates to replacing the Chair due to vacancy prior to term end. RESPONSE: Actioned under house-keeping.

S&B 2022-09

Referral Maker: Vicki R., North Texas Area

Summary of Referral: On page 36 of the 2022 WSM under REGIONAL CONVENTION in the first sentence, are the words “our fellowship” appropriate? I suggest the words be deleted as it is confusing the way it currently is.

Page 10 of 12

RESPONSE: Actioned under housekeeping.
