AA Service Manual Ch. 4 Discussion led by Jacque J. – Chapter focused on what is the Area, how it is determined, and related details, conference structure, delegate-DCM-GSR, world-wide organization, Assembly is defined as a meeting of GSR and committee members, each area determines how many assemblies to have, described eligibility to vote, no standard fellowship procedures for all areas – each makes its own, once an AA group has registered with GSO they can vote in area business, two types of assemblies 1) elections; 2) Sharing Sessions; described election assemblies, usually before November, Areas also usually have archives, newsletters, bulletins, some have conventions, It is possible to form a new area but is a very involved formal process, also can change regional boundaries which is again a very involved formal process.
Tom will do September Service Manual Chapter 5 for September.
