Would
Conference discuss whether the conscience of the group is properly
represented when the current service structure in Great Britain does
not allow GSRs a vote at regional level?
Background:
With
ever-increasing vacancies in the service structure at regional level,
delegates are being elected by an ever-decreasing quorum. There is a
risk that the "actual voice and effective conscience" of
the AA groups is not being carried.
References:
The
48th General Service Conference 2013 Report, Committee 4, Question 1:
"The most successful methods were where groups have an active,
well ‐ supported and enthusiastic GSR who forms a vital link
between the individual member
and the wider fellowship."

Comment:
God forbid that democracy should ever break out in AA! What on earth
would we do? Why! That would be like treating AA members as
adults..... who knows where it might end???
