CA WORLD SERVICE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE OF STRUCTURES & BYLAWS

The direction of the Committee was discussed in some detail. Some comments were listed:

-Some obvious glitches in the Manual were apparent and agreed to be resolved.

-The Committee should work throughout the year and future efforts should be made in this regard.

-The Manual should be revised sooner, if possible, given logistics of getting accurate information from other committees who must do their work first.

-There is some spiritual direction for our Committee: the key is patience and tolerance of what others say; this is being done for the absolute good of the entire fellowship.

[3] Add to the end of this sentence the sentence “To take place immediately.”

Page 18

-The Committee should be proud of the fact that for the past two years all motions which the Committee made were passed on the floor.
