Background
On a regular basis, questions arise to the Service Team about what images and names on Zoom (Name, Thumbnail/Avatar, Background Image) are appropriate for the Trusted Servants and for the whole fellowship, and often these questions reference Tradition 10, that Adult Children of Alcoholics has no opinion on outside issues; hence the ACA name should never be drawn into public controversy.
The purpose of this Town Hall discussion meeting is to review the draft Names & Images policy intended to address this issue and to gather the comments and questions of our full fellowship. The policy will then be edited and updated by the SWG in preparation for vote on its final form in an upcoming Group Conscience meeting, to be held within a few weeks of this town hall meeting, after any edits are made.
Town Hall Discussion Approach
In our Town Hall Discussion, we will:
- Read the draft Images & Names Policy,
- Open the floor for comments and questions of the fellowship (including reading those posted on the website), and
- Take all input and ideas back to the SWG for finalization of the Names & Images Policy, posting again on the website for review in advance of the Group Conscience vote.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Your SWG Team (Lisa, Jim, Chris, Wendy, Vivienne, Boaz, Rene)
