6. Sharing Session:
At GSA Open Phone Bridge Intergroup meetings we use the AA “Sharing Session” approach for all topics of discussion. For each topic, a member may speak for up to two minutes. No one will speak more than once per topic until all members have shared at least one time. Participants will be called on in the order in which they identified themselves. Please be respectful of this approach. The purpose is to allow all voices to be heard. Our open sharing sessions are not necessarily attempting to reach substantial unanimity or a decision at this time.
7. Close with the “I am responsible…” pledge and the “WE” version of the Serenity Prayer
“I am responsible…when anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help. I want the hand of GSA always to be there. And for that – I am responsible”
Only passed motions will be reported in the meeting minutes
