*Note: In the redacted 2004 Conference minutes,”Scotland,” is listed as the first Area petition, but the audio transcript records it as “Holland” — the first Area petition on the Conference floor followed by Sweden, Hong Kong and last in the line-up to be voted on was Scotland’s petition for Area. All four Areas were ratified at the 2004 World Service Conference. I have corrected the pdf version of the 2004 Conference Day 1 minutes to show “Holland” not “Scotland” as the first petition to be ratified.
