10/25/03 Group Conscious Meeting

Group Conscious Meeting 10/25/03
The group conscious meeting began shortly after Susan's speaker
meeting. Rick alias "Ruiseart" chaired the meeting. There were
about 22 present. The first topic of discussion was to elect a
secretary. It was clarifies that in order to vote a person had to
be a member of the group with a desire to be nicotine free. The job
of a secretary was defined as the following 1)the person needs to be
3 months free of nicotine 2) takes down the minutes at group
meetings and business meetings 3) keep the group informed of any
upcoming events 4)helps by putting together the welcome packets. It
was unanimous that 2 should occupy this job due to the size of the
group. Cathy "angel mist" and Carol "cgodwin" were elected to
fulfill the position.
The next issue discussed was about the proxy vote. It was
suggested that we take the vote from the group conscious meeting,
post the minutes and agenda, and the other members who weren't able
to attend the meeting would vote by proxy by going into the database
to cast their vote. The voting by proxy qualifications and
regulations were presented as follows: Logs of the meetings can be
obtained and/or with Minutes posted to the boards with the
header "Minutes or Logs of (Date) Group Conscious Meeting"
logs means all that is being scrolled now,,
from the beginning of the meeting
b) Members must be joined to the unofficialnicanon website and
allow only one vote per person. Multi-Screen name to the same person
will be disqualified completely. c) Voting deadline/closing is one
week from the group conscious meeting.
d) Voting is to be done in the database area of the
unofficialnicanon website but questions pretending to database maybe
referred to an offshoot web page or posting with link address or
message number referred too for clarification.
The database is located in the main group site
the database will be designed by a moderator
A vote was then taken regarding the issue and it was unanimous.
After the vote there was chat about other concerns that would be
brought up at other meeting. The proxy vote was the main concern of
this meeting.
All was well as the lengthy meeting was adjourned

8/22/09 Group Conscious Meeting

Group Conscious Meeting
8/22/09 @ 1:15 pm in Paltalk
We held our Group Conscience Meeting on Saturday, after the regularly scheduled Nicotine Anonymous meeting.
Here is a summary:
As a form of celebrating the anniversary of Unofficial Group, an 'invitation' will be sent to group members, and also to VONR members, to share their stories. It will 'accumulate', in a similar manner to what Hippie already does with the Traditions..
Carol has agreed to take over the position of chairing the GC meetings, as we have lost our stately Kim, who formerly ran the GC meetings with great aplomb and much circumstance.....and who will be GREATLY missed.
BUT, we all appreciate the time we DID have, and thank Kim for his lengthy time of service!
It was also agreed upon to turn the Welcome Letters over to Joy. Thank you, Joy, for being of service!
I'm not certain if we set a new date for the next GC meeting. This is about all I can remember. Should there be more, PLEASE add to this!:o)
Also, Ms. Carol did a FINE job of herding the cats......er, I mean......getting the job done. Thank you, Carol!
Linda C....former hopeless nicotine addict.

Group Conscious Meeting

Date 8/11/08

Time 10:00 EST

Previous Minutes: None; the group has decided to start over with a clean slat.

Chair persons: Carol R

Attendance: 4


Topics:

1) Ideas on how to get the message out about our meetings

It was discussed and was approved that we develop a “Help Wanted” type letter asking for chairs and co-chairs. It is to include:

A) Who could chair the meetings … Anyone can chair a meeting so long as they have a desire to quit using nicotine,

B) If they can consistently do the meeting at the time as scheduled. It does not matter what time the meeting is done, just so long as you can do them. (We understand life, and know some things can’t be helped but the aim is to try to do them or find someone to cover for if all possible.)

C) New chairs may ask to be a co-chair of a meeting until they feel comfortable with how to them solo.

D) Kim will put the “Help Wanted” letter together and post it to the boards as he feels it is needed to be posted.

2) When and where setting up future Group Conscious meetings.

We will be meeting on the second Monday of the month at 10 AM, monthly in http://client4.addonchat.com/sc.php?id=181040

TIME: 11:15

CHAIRPERSON: Kim F

Topic: Welcome Letter from Carol R

A Motion was made:- Linda to revise current letter for review on the board and further submission to the next GC meeting and this motion passed.

It was clarified that we have two welcome letters – one in which is auto generated by yahoo and the other is personally sent out by Carol R from her e-mail address. It the one we are talking about is from Carol R.

Topic: HATS – ADMIN RIGHTS

It was agreed and passed that we are to start new group on paltalk since our group is already so small that will take the name of “Unofficial NicAnon” . It will not longer have the “jcwrevalee” name attached to it – this way if it is to be handed over to someone else or if it is shared by someone else – then it will not be personal and will be easier to give up. The new group address is:


If you want a hat please contact carolwrevalee @ gmail .com

Topic: John’s Conference Report

John (oldhippiedude) is now the Online Contact person for WSO. Congratulations John! He also talked about Our New text book coming out. It will be much bigger. Also about meeting up with our founder of Nicotine Anonymous: Roger F.

Topic: Banning

One member made a request to have his original name unbanned from meetings. This is to be reviewed by moderators. We have no time frames on banning, nor do we have a time table for the banning. Generally, Paltalk-scene will drop them off the list after a period of time from our understanding.
