Would conference please give guidance as to the usage of public websites to lobby for national AA UK policies as an addition to the conference process itself?
Background
In
the last few years there has been a growing incidence of UK‐based
websites run by AA members who publicise their views on various
topics of AA UK service policy and officers, GSO and the GSB. They
also encourage AA members reading the websites to lobby GSO and GSB
with these views. They go through the conference‐approved
literature explaining where they believe it should be changed. They
discuss various incidents they have heard of at GSO explaining where
GSO or the board are at fault. Such blog posts are available to the
general public. Password protected sites are easily available to set
up. There is a UK service structure in existence that provide a
process for lobbying and raising issues at the highest level. The use
of public
websites is maybe more likely to cause public controversy, and gets
included in AA search results for the general public and
professionals.

Yep! Answered this one before...... It's called: 'freedom of speech'.
And AA's an ANONYMOUS organisation – not a secret one!
