A discussion was held regarding the availability of MIRC to OPs. A motion was made to clarify this with John and report back at the next meeting. The motion was voted on and passed

Old Business:

Discussion of the H (helper) service position.  A motion was made since the position had only been tested for 2 weeks that we continute to test for the month of May and bring it up for final vote at the June business meeting.  The motion was passed

The OP Liason committee made a report:

We have a committee now voted on by Group conscience, the committee consists of:

Belle, Danz, Edna, Shadow and Maria

And we have, on behalf of the group, worked together to resolve any issues that come into the room prior to it going to Johns attention.  Unless of course, its egregious enough whereby John, OP Present, makes his own arbitrary decision.  We have one more item we need to meet/discuss on and that is banning folks and the criteria used for banning and how long.  But other than that we have recommended that one member wha was banned remain banned.  We, the committee, will continue to work together to help in the room when theres confusion, etc.  But the guidelines of the room and basic guidelines of Alanon are our guiding premise so if you have a problem and you want to reach out to an of us, we will do our best to resolve it in house if you will

A motion was made to accept the report.  The motions was voted on and passed.

No new business was brought to the floor.

The meeting was closed by Maria with the Alanon Declataion.

Next Business Meeting June 7^th 9PM eastern Time
