Lately, I’ve noticed several\u00a0meetings whereby there was significant disruptions.\u00a0 Unfortunately, this led to dozens of\u00a0callers dropping off the line.\u00a0 So, there are two ways of looking at this—We can either continue to try to live in chaos or we can try to fix the problem.<\/p>\n

Tradition #2: “For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority \u2013 a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.” Am I absolutely trustworthy, even in secret? Do I have to save face in group discussion, or can I yield in good spirit to the group conscience and work cheerfully along with it? Read more<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are a couple of\u00a0suggestions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. When you first call into the teleconference the line should be automatically muted by default.\u00a0 This is\u00a0a simple feature that the administrator needs to enable @ FreeConference.com<\/a>.\u00a0 This\u00a0will eliminate a large percentage of background noise that other callers hear when people innocently create.<\/li>\n
  2. The moderator needs to take command of the meeting by utilizing the available features and tactfully following the 2nd Tradition.\u00a0 See Meetings – How They Work <\/em>– page 185 in the White Book.<\/li>\n
  3. These challenges need to be planned for and addressed during a business meeting \/ group conscious.\u00a0 However, interrupting the meeting to try and consult the group can be very difficult while emotions are high.\u00a0 Perhaps it is best to simply defer to the literature and try to end the meeting on a positive note.<\/li>\n
  4. Perhaps the most important step is to reach out to any callers who may be having difficulty by exchanging phone numbers and calling them directly, one-on-one.\u00a0 Often Carrying the Message<\/em> of hope and practicing the 12th Tradition is simply listening to another addict and giving them an opportunity to share openly without judgment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
