Cocaine Anonymous World Service Conference 1999 Friday, September 3, 1999, Day Three Summary of Motions & Activities

  1. Serenity Prayer
  2. Roll Call
  3. 129 Voting members present at the roll
  4. The Quorum is 86
  5. Trustees: Walter Johnson
    1. One of our trustees did not attend the conference or the board meeting. We wanted to be sure the Midwest was not unrecognized in the way of a report. Each of our regional trustees did give reports and they are attached to the Quarterly minutes. In overview of the Midwest region in the Milwaukee area 36 meetings with H&I. They do have a website
    2. Illionois has109 meetings and they are Hosting Unity Convention in 2000 April 28- 30 and November 3-5 Midwest Regional Convention in 2000
    3. Ohio has 5 districts 107 meetings Midwest regional will be there in 1999
    4. Minnesota area has 10 meetings. Mostly in Minneapolis
    5. 13 meetings in Nebraska
    6. Missouri has two districts one in Kansas City and one East St Louis. 62 regular and 40 H&I meetings. 3rd annual show me recovery convention held in August.
    7. Michigan has 33 meetings 3 districts and 2 H&I
    8. Indiana has 36 meetings 7 H&I. In the youth correctional facility. Saskathchewan area.
  6. Statement: “The WSBT intend to fill the 2nd trustee at large position at the next conference, 2000. The circumstances of this year, the resignation of a Trustee-At-Large midyear, one Trustee unable to attend several meetings due to personal circumstances and another Trustee missed the quarterly meeting and the conference have led the trustees to believe that it is in the best interest of Cocaine Anonymous to fill the second Trustee- At-Large position to ensure that the Board of Trustees can provide a broad based group conscience and enough people to do all of the work that is necessary to bed performed throughout the year. In addition it has become clear that at least a portion of the fellowship wishes to have that position filled.There is a general description of the Trustee-At-Large position on page 4.2 of the WS Manual. The trustees have been attempting to provide more details to that descriiption and hope to complete that task at the November quarterly meeting. In the interim the need to fill all the addict trustee positions has become clear to Board of Trustees.”
  7. WSOB: Scott Stephenson: received 15 referrals
  8. Referral: 3 referrals regarding the additional dissemination of starter kit mailinginformation . The Board passed a motion directing office staff to mail copies of the cover letter contained in the starter kits to each delegate within the area that the starter kit was sent to. Note: These letters are going to be sent to the Trustee in each region as well per previous Board action.
  9. Items referred to the World Service Office which resulted in action without motions: Referral: That the Office Board seek and implement inclusion of members from outside the greater Los Angeles area. The Office Board currently seeks members from the greatest possible geographical area within Southern California. Currently the sitting members come from up to 60 miles away from the CAWSO. The Office Board believes that the impracticality of significantly extending the distance beyond that for members of the Board to travel to meetings exceeds the benefits. In addition, while the Board understands and is willing to implement electronic means of real time communication for

Page 1 WSC 1999 Conference Day Three

Board meetings, the Office is not currently prepared to incur the costs to set up and maintain such a system.

  1. Referral: Add a field on existing order form and H & I order form to specify language (English, French or Spanish). Bilingual forms (French only) will be available in the next 30 days. A draft form has been prepared by the Quebec Fellowship for use by the office. The office has a project on its agenda to prepare Spanish language bilingual order forms. It is expected that those forms will be available within a year.
  2. Referral: Check on UPS (shipping) discounts. The office is reviewing discounts and incentives with our shippers.
  3. Referral: Clarify the responsibility of the WSB PI committee including their interaction with the WSC PI committee and to include in the WS Manual. The WSB PI committee will review this referral during the year and have a report for the Conference next year. If the committee agrees that clarification needs to be documented it will also then refer to WSC Structure & Bylaws committee the language for including in the WS manual.
  4. Referral: Multiple copies of various documents given to new delegates. The office will review procedures to reduce possible duplication. However, the WSO Board believes that it is better to err on the side of inclusivity to ensure that delegates have a copy of all material.
  5. Referral: Develop guidelines for handling calls and/or contacts from addicts in areas where CA is not currently available. The office currently responds to such contacts via telephone or email with such meeting information that is available. In addition the office also sends out information to the suffering addict. The Office Board will review the materials and suggestions from the delegate submitting this referral. We will attempt to craft appropriate methods of handling such calls and forward the results of our work to the Trustees and the Public Information Committee for review and discussion.
  6. Referral: Correct the problems with the Meeting in a Pocket. The Office will change the Meeting in a Pocket as soon as the Chips Literature and Format Committee provides us with the changes. The typographical errors will be corrected as a matter of course with the next printing, however, the exclusion of a portion of Chapter 5 may have been made due to space considerations and to substantially change the literature the Office must receive direction from the appropriate Conference Committee.
  7. Referral: Review the possibility of having the Office handle certain early hotel registrations at the New York CAWS Convention (2001) including the actual booking of such rooms for a service charge. The Office will be contacting the appropriate legal and insurance sources for their take on this issue. Office Board members have already had discussions with certain members of the Host City Committee and sincerely appreciate their willingness to work with the Convention Bureau of the City of New York to nail down such open items as currently exist.
  8. Referral: Establish email aliases for specific Committees or Committee Chairs on ca.org. We will establish an alias for any requesting individual Committee Chair or for a Conference Committee. However, in accordance with current Office Web page policy, it is the responsibility of the addressee to keep the Webmaster informed of any changes in the address contained in the alias. If the connection should “die” the only action the Webmaster will take is to delete the alias until such time as he is notified of the change in the email address that the alias should be connected to.
  9. Items were referred to the World Service Office that resulted in no action: Referral: Limitation of Board members consecutive terms. The World Service Office Board of Directors does not have the authority to make such a change. That authority lies in the hands of the World Service Conference.

Page 2 WSC 1999 Conference Day Three

  1. Referral: Appointment of outside trustees to WSOB. The World Service Office Board of Directors does not have the authority to make such a change. That authority lies in the hands of the World Service Conference.
  2. Referral: Create a district/area for the Internet. The World Service Office Board of Directors does not have the authority to make such a change. That authority lies in the hands of the World Service Conference.
  3. Referral: Funds raised at WS Convention go to the office only. The World Service Office Board of Directors does not have the authority to make such a change. That authority lies in the hands of the World Service Conference.
  4. Referral: Return the link to the HFC & KIS email meetings to ca.org. The World Service Office Board of Directors does not have the authority to make such a change. That matter is how in the hands of the Trustees and the Conference.
  5. Marie Pascale: Quebec: Re Point 2, there is confusion: what I have given Mary is a Canadian order form for Canadian groups to order french material There is not a field for the language on the form. CAWSO does not have the French literature, we do.
  6. Answer: we will incorporate the french box in the order form, so any person ordering literature can check the box indicated whether the order is for French, Spanish or English.
  7. Trustees: Walter Johnson: Referrals to WSBOT

Page 6 WSC 1999 Conference Day Three

  1. Motion to table is defeated
  2. We passed this out at 7:30. We have had breaks since then. I think it is sufficient time toread this during those breaks. I understand why people want to review this, there areconditions on area websites in here.
  3. Kevin Murphy: Speaking for motion.
  4. Jim Holder: WS Manual page 3.7 Standing Rule 14 proposed material to be reviewed bythe delegates must be received at least 90 days prior to the WSC so they can review the material prior to the conference. Am I to understand that this document was produced at this conference in 2 days?

  13. Referrals # 108, 109, 125 and 138: #108: Create a district/area or region for Internet. On-line meetings are currently found by word of mouth or links on local area sites only. This makes it very difficult for newcomers and other addicts to find them. #109: To devise a solution in which we can refer addicts to other places for help on the CA web site when CA is not present in that area, without compromising our Traditions or bylaws. #125: Put the link to HF&C and KISCA e-mail meeting back on ca.org so that can be found. It can provide CA meetings where there are no face to face meetings #138: Allow creation of “on line meetings Intergroup” with supervision from either Trustee at Large or WSO Trustee. Allow link to Intergroup page from ca.org.
  14. Motion 2. To create an “online service committee”, directly responsible to those they serve, that provides links to online meetings. Allow ca.org to link to this online service group’s page.
  15. Jeff Schachter: Can you explain that?
  16. Leon Mason: Decision made last year to remove the links from ca.org as WSO site doesnot link to meetings. There are currently 2 online meetings and people on the web find our site and they used to get the link, members from the two meetings plan to be on the service committee and they will create a page that has the links that are separate from ca.org that will bring you to links for the online meetings. Therefore, they are outside of the ca.org website.
  17. John Sparks: The online service committee is a subcommittee
  18. Kevin Murphy: Online meetings currently do not have a place in the service structure.Normally a meeting would be listed in the directory. How do you credit a meeting? Create a powerless district, controlled or overseen by a trustee until we figure out what we are doing with the online meetings but not having the WSO handling this.
  19. John: You didn’t answer my question. It is in quotes, that this is a “service committee”, is it a subcommittee?
  20. Kevin: No it is not a committee on the conference.
  21. John Sparks: Whom do they report to?
  22. Kevin Murphy: no one
  23. Leon Mason: with the meetings on line currently, we have business meetings, and themembers of those meetings can take part of that committee. They are responsible to those two meetings. They are providing a service, so they are serving the two meetings. Overseen by the trustees.

Page 7 WSC 1999 Conference Day Three

  1. Your trying to get permission to route through the site. But you want to eventually be autonomous, is that correct?
  2. Leon Mason: its so the people on the internet can find the ca online meetings. Because the office and the web site does not link directly to the online meetings.
  3. Scott Botz: meetings we have now use suggested formats. Do your guidelines have guidelines to conduct the online meetings.
  4. Leon: one meeting is a discussion meeting. The other is participation. Do we have readings? No.
  5. The suggested formats are suggested.
  6. Roger Hornback: in favor of the motion, does a great job of recognizing these meetings.
  7. Steve Edwards: Call the vote
  8. Motion to call the vote is Carried.
  9. Motion 2. To create an “online service committee”, directly responsible to those theyserve, that provides links to online meetings. Allow ca.org to link to this online servicegroup’s page.
  10. Motion carried.
  11. Minority Opinion: Jim Gorman: Part of one of the online meetings, but the way it comes across…..I don’t believe they followed the correct format for the referral.
  12. Joe Stephens: Minority: On line service committee should be a part of the internet committee, I would have been in favor if they were directly responsible to the WSO who keeps that page.
  13. Committee is set up to not be responsible to anyone.
  14. INTERNET WSC COMMITTEE REPORT
  15. Referral #032: CA web sites to provide a link to a PDF file viewer.

  28. Y es.
  29. Call the vote:
