A Motion will be brought related to this SR14 Notice which will be addressed to both the WSC Finance Committee and the WSOB to cease (not fund) for two years the participation by CA World Services at the annual United States National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP) Drug Court Conference; and only then reinstated thereafter if and when it can be substantiated that the significant funds which are being spent on CA’s participation each year provide an acceptable return on CA’s investment in terms of measurable results, including without limitation: the number of new meetings started directly after CA Drug Conference participation, new CA cities/states/countries colonized where there is little if any CA now, and judges and referees sending their people specifically to CA (how many people are sent).

2. Find a C.A. Meeting
3. A Quiet Peace Daily Meditation App (this one could have a cost associated with it before the user could download the app)

The fellowship appears to not be informed regarding the cost of managing multiple currencies and converting to USD. Motion: that WSOB Finance Committee monitor, record ad report on the cost to the fellowship 2017 conference to 2018 conference of managing all financial matters in multiple currencies.

That the internal WSO guidelines be updated to include under the WSO Treasurer position: WSO Treasurer is responsible for preparing the “Proposed following year WSO Budget, which is then forwarded to the Finance Committee in March of the current year, for the Finance Committee to review before forwarding onto the Office for the June Delegate mailing.

Bart CA Holland Area and David C. UK Area

Create guidelines for movements of funds, from World Service to European sub committees. Now although funds are being made available by World Service the process of moving this money is problematic and unreliable. This could involve appointing Treasurers for World Service European subcommittees?

Currently the unreliable movement of money results in members using personal funds to cover costs. European sub-committee Treasurers would open bank accounts in accordance with financial guidelines and hold seed

funds for forthcoming events.

Personal experience: As Euro PI Chair I requested CAWSC PI chair on 27th of January for agreed funds for European PI summit. On 31th we received approval from trustees, On the 1st of February CAWSO got involved and agree to wire the money, On 22th February the extra details were received. On 6th of March 2018 we received finally the funds. The event is the end of March. The former European PI chair had the same experience last year!

Please reply to both of us.

WSOB 2018-4 Pre-conf 2018

Kerry-Jane G. CA UK Area

I would like to make a referral for the creation and publication of a brand style guide for our fellowship. I have created a basic document that could be used as a starting point that is open to improvements/amendments/further expansion as the relevant committee deems. I am happy to assign all IP rights to the fellowship accordingly. Due to its size, I will send the editable MS PowerPoint document into the conference committee via email – it is too large to attach to this referral form.

A brand style guide is a document containing the rules and guidelines for the composition, design, and general thematic look-and-feel of all of a brand’s collateral. Developing a consistent brand starts with creating a brand style guide. I believe that the more our fellowship grows, the greater the need for a consistent branding approach with clear-cut directions for our membership to follow, in particular to guide the creation of event flyers, posters and CA websites etc.

In CAUK Area, we are seeing an increasing amount of rogue CA logos appearing on literature – namely, event posters/flyers. In fact, if you Google ‘Cocaine Anonymous Logo’ and click ‘Images’ you will see that the FIRST logo that appears differs from the one that appears in the World Service Manual.

In the process of creating a Welsh CA logo for my local fellowship, I found I had created an editable CA Logo template. Upon the guidance of our Delegate and Regional Trustee, I passed this resource directly onto the WSO who are now utilising it.

I believe that logos have been recreated by local fellowships in the absence of availability of high-resolution logos that can be used for print purposes. I know from experience, when I emailed the WSO for a copy of a high-resolution logo, my response was not fulfilled for several months and indeed until a trustee became involved in the issue. I know that the creation of the WSPI website – www.pimembersarea.org will go a long way to solving this issue, however I still believe our fellowship could benefit from some really clear-cut directions in creating CA branded literature.

I believe we also need some clarification around the exact Pantone the WSO uses…the WSM states; “Although not officially adopted, when using the green color traditionally used by CAWSO Inc., the Pantone # is 3292 and the calibrated CMYK values be used.”

I believe this sentence is missing some vital information. Which Pantone 3292 are we referring to? From a graphic design perspective, there are actually 2 different options – Coated and Uncoated (potentially more if we included Extended Gamut) and the CMYK values vary depending on which one you choose.

Many thanks for your consideration. Do not hesitate to contact me should you have any further questions or if I can be of any further assistance.

Katie B. Arizona Area

I am concerned that Montreal lost so much money. I understand some of the reasons due to Airbnb and not meeting the hotel block, getting across the border, etc. I request that the WSOB take a long hard look please at what can be changed to ensure that the lessons learned from Montreal will not be repeated ever.

So, is there a better way, from the big to the small, maybe no banquet or brunch, or price registration differently. What can we do differently to meet the charge of the Conventions to promote enthusiasm and still raise funds for program services, to think outside the box. Also are there perhaps other ways to raise funds so that CA is not so reliant on the success of conventions to survive. Can/should the WSOB perhaps form an Adhoc committee of its members, some past convention trusted servants and delegates to sincerely explore all of these options and more? I would volunteer to serve on such a committee.

The 2018 World Service Conference H&I Committee requests the WSOB place the already approved H&I survey link. www.esurveypro.com/s/407611/CAWSHISURVEY2018 on the www.ca.org website, prominently to simplify access for our CA global H&I users.

Stuart E. Nevada Area

I would like the WSOB to do a financial impact study on the possibility of holding a World Service Convention every 2 years instead of every year as we do now. I have supported this idea for some time now and was moved by the impassioned speech made by the WSOB chair at conference this year. I believe that once the fellowship can see actual numbers we might be able to support this change. We might even see an increase in attendance due to the change. AA does a convention every 5 years and gets 100,000 attendees. While we probably won’t approach those numbers, I think we can more than double our current attendance and also increase attendance at our regional and area conventions as well…

Will conference recommend that the WSO examine and act on the European Data Protection Regulations and amend their data storage procedures, accordingly, offering members in the European Region reassurance that the legislation is being adhered to.

As of 25th May 2018 the European Union has implemented new laws for Data Protection. The data of all European citizens is now protected under the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). The law applies to organisations outside of the European Union (EU) who may record and store personal information. These regulations may affect the running of C.A. services where personal data is recorded. Thus, the purchase of literature, the PI Members area of our web-site, donations via the WSO or the website, Convention and Conference Registrations etc. It does not mean that the Fellowship cannot store personal information but rather should inform anyone entering data of its storage procedures and acknowledgment of the GDPR.

Please consider renaming the contribution program the Virtual Basket rather than the Freedom Fund. The name Freedom Fund is already associated with an organization to end modern slavery, an organization funding abortion, and likely others.

I would like the WSOB to consider having the CAWS convention on only the Memorial Day weekend to allow the finance committee enough time to process funds. This is in hopes of having the proper financial information available to the delegates by the WSC.

We believe there should be a rebranding of the “Freedom Fund” to be called the “Online Basket”. This was discussed on the floor at last conference, and we feel that this better represents the nature of the contributions. This should help the fellowship understand the contribution process better, remove any negative connotations, link better with the current Covid online climate, and hopefully lead to larger contributions.

Please would you look at the possibility of providing a domain for each region such that this could be used as a ‘Landing Place’ where those seeking recovery could more easily find contact information for the Area that will best serve them.

This could provide a link to Area websites, helplines an meeting finders etc. An example would be MER@CA.ORG, which could be used as the landing place for anyone in mainland Europe. Any Area websites would have to be vetted in the same way that they are if linked to our world website.

By the World Service Office providing the domain it means that a Region would not have to create a committee to pay for this and administrate for a Region.

Please consider automatically including 10 free copies of the NewsGram when filling orders from Areas. I think it is an incredible publication that shockingly few people know about. I live in Arizona which is a pretty active and informed fellowship and when I brought it up recently at our Area meeting very few people had heard of it. I know there will be a cost to this but believe it would be worth it. The publication provides important information about our fellowship and upcoming events, as well as articles about our experiences, steps, traditions, and concepts that would benefit our local areas, our individual members and C.A. as a whole.

In 2021, Structure & Bylaws received a referral regarding gender neutral language in the WSM. Since then, a subcommittee was formed and has been working on gender neutral language in the WSM and other areas. These other areas fall outside the committee scope, and so the S&B committee kindly asks that you consider the following motion as relates to the original referral.

Motion to make all future and reprinted literature published by Cocaine Anonymous gender neutral, excluding

literature that Cocaine Anonymous doesn’t hold the rights to/not published by Cocaine Anonymous, and/or personal stories as submitted by members.

Please detail the terms of all WSOB officers and directors, when they were selected, when they were renewed, when their two-year terms and four year terms end. Please make this information available once a year to the delegates in a delegate mailing and perhaps even in the Newsgram so that all are informed about possible vacancies and timing of any open positions.

As an adjunct to this, if there is an opening on the WSOB, that opening is well posted for a period of at least two months before selection.

Russell S. Thailand ASC

Please can you amend all invoices and shipping documentation to remove the word COCAINE ANONYMOUS. This has, and will continue, to cause unnecessary concern when shipping items into countries that have a different social attitude. I’m sure there will be a flurry of verbal defence along the lines of ‘that’s our fellowship name’ and I respect and value that. However, legally there is nothing to stop you using CAWSO Inc.

I anticipate members speaking against this based on lack of awareness with regards differing attitudes around the world. I trust the WSOB have the maturity to pause, reflect, discuss and support this required change.

Response – Referral # 2022-1

It does not say it on the commercial invoice that is sent to internationals customers, but a copy of our QuickBooks invoice was enclosed in your last package, which should not have happened. We will make the change on our QuickBooks invoices. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and I apologize again for the delay in your package.
