We will be having a group consience meeting on Monday, September 12 after the regular Monday stones meeting.
We will be discussing how to handle group members discussion of controversial group issues during the regular meetings distracting from the regular meetings and possible changes to the format to clarify how the group would like these to be handled.
The issue of the groups financial self support and setting up some way to have the group cover it's own costs for the zoom account will be discussed as well.
There has been a concern raised in the group during a meeting that the group is not following the traditions and that there is a "leader" who could remove members without support of the group. A member has been asked to stop bringing controversial group issues up during the regular meetings and to instead bring them up in a GC. The member who was asked to stop bringing these issues up continues to bring these issues up during the regular meetings, so this GC has been requested in hopes of getting input from the group on how to handle this.
The group has previously voted to follow the 12 traditions as much as possible even though it is not officially part of any existing 12 step fellowship, there is no leader. For clarification to date nobody has ever been removed from the group by any individual or group decision.
