  Subject   Missouri Issue #1

  Item:   St. Louis CoDA Area CoDA Groups would like to copy (in black & white or color) a large number of the single step pamphlets that are no

            longer available. The tri/quad fold pamphlets are selling at $10 for 50. That is 8 cents royalty per pamphlet. Could we be granted permission to

             make a set quantity if we paid the 8 cent royalty for each? Could we pay less royalty? A contract of sorts would be agreeable. There are several

             meetings in the St. Louis area,, as well as several other intergroups, that strongly prefer the single step pamphlets.

  Subject   Missouri Issue #2

  Item:   Reference the Newcomer's Handbook page 18, paragraph "ATTENDING CLOSED MEETINGS", sentences: "in honoring our Tradition Three

            and the guidance of the Conference there are only two types of CoDA meetings that may purposely exclude others in order to create a safety

            for its members. CoDA-Teen for teenage members and CoDA  groups for Gays and Lesbians are closed meetings."

           

            A St. Louis Area CoDA Community has a G&L meeting that has not been, is not, and does not want to be a "closed" or a "restricted" meeting.

            The wording above seems to dictate that they be a closed meeting. Everyone is welcome to attend their meeting. Since G&L related issues may

            be discussed, that information about the meeting is included in the listing so people may decide if they are comfortable with it.

           

            Additionally, the wording of the Newcomers Handbook appears to conflict with the FSM section 3. Section 3 talks about "closed" meetings and

             "restricted" meetings. It would also be helpful if clarification was included explaining what is necessary to attend a closed-restricted meeting.

            Contacting the meeting contact person and obtaining permission to attend or arriving early to request permission to attend. I think we may be

            sending the wrong message to may newcomers about what a "closed" meeting means. I think essentially what the intent of making a meeting

            "closed" was to require that newcomers to the meeting either affirm that they fit the meeting group "type" or be vouched for by a current

            member. I think a meeting group that does not admit newcomers is doomed to wither and die as people move on in their life.

  Subject   By-law Changes

  Item:   Section 2, Definition of "Voting Entities that can send Delegates (Modifications in ALL CAPS)

            Each State and Territory of the United States of America and each Country is ESTABLISHED AS AVOTING  ENTITY AND entitled to send

            two (2) Delegates. A SINGLE VOTING ENTITY IS ESTABLISHED TO REPRESENT ALL "ALTERNATE FORMAT MEETINGS" (AFM)

            AND IS ENTITLED TO SEND TWO (2)DELEGATES. AFM IS DEFINED AS: ALL MEETINGS THAT DO NOT PHYSICALLY MEET

            FACE-TO-FACE IN A PHYSICAL LOCATION.

            Any Voting Entity may surrender its two (2) Delegates and request to subdivide. The governing principle is that a member of the Fellowship

            will only be represented by one (1) set of two (2) Delegates. An entity may request sub-divisions for reasons of geographical separation,

            language, or other recognizable characteristics. Each entity may request that it be split along an internally agreed upon division and each sub-

            division of the entity granted two (2) Delegates. Each subdivision should have enough memebers and meetings to support a viable service group

            so that all meetings are still represented.

            The Issues Mediation Committee will handle requests for CoDA to recognize Voting Entities. Through the group conscience process, Voting

            Entities select Delegates and Alternate Delegates to carry the will of the Membership to CoDA Inc. meetings. In order to guarantee voting

            rights, each Voting Entity service board must be duly authorized by the Issues Mediation Committee. In the absence of a Voting Entity service

            board, members of that Entity shall present an alternative selection process based on group conscience decision making to the Issues Mediation

             Committee. This procedure insures adherence to the program of recovery endorsed by this fellowship.

  Intent This modification is an extension of the motions passed by 2004 and 2005 CoDA Service Conferences. It modifies the existing By Laws, so

           that Alternative Format Meetings are given an equal representation opportunity, the same as other CoDA meetings. This modification does so

           by establishing a Voting Entity by which Alternative Format Meetings can be represented at the CoDA Service Conference, the same as other

           meetings that affliate with CoDA Inc. As in the existing version, the same safeguards apply and remain in place. The Issues Mediation

           Committee must authorize the splitting of Voting Entities. IMC will be making those decisions based on guidelines that require all Voting

           Entities to have enough members and meetings to support a viable service group.

  Subject   By-Law Changes

  Item:   Change the First Step to read: "We are powerless over CODEPENDENCY*, and our lives have become unmanageable"

            *The First Step currently reads: We are powerless over OTHERS, and our lives have become unmanageable"

  Intent Changing the First Step to read "powerless over codependency" broadens the Step to more accurately reflect the truth of recovery in our

           program. We codependents are not only powerless over others, but also powerless over: ourselves, our learned dysfunctional thinking, etc.

           Perhaps the chief symptom of full-blown codependency is the compulsion to look to others. As the First Step currently reads, the verbiage

           seems to direct us outward. Making use of the word "codependecy" in the step broadens its meaningfulness. When the program was new, there

           was much less knowledge about the disease. In the years of growth experienced by thousands of persons working the program, a fuller picture of

           codependency has emerged. Yes, codependents are powerless over others, but the core powerlessness resides within. The most disabling feature

           of codependency is the lack of a relationship with a Higher Power and ourselves. Looking to others is only one of its symptoms. This is not to

           say that great recovery has not been possible as the step has read for our first 20 years, only that perhaps the the time has come to change the

           wording of the step to reflect the growing awareness of what CoDA recovery encompasses. Changing the step to read " powerless over

           codependency" opens up awareness on a broader front and directs focus to the self and Higher Power.

  Subject   By-Law Changes

  Item:   Change the Third Tradition to read: "The only requirement for membership in CoDA is the desire for healthy and loving relationships WITH

            OURSELVES AND THEN OTHERS"* *The Third Tradition currently reads: "The only requirent for membership in CoDA is the desire for

            HEALTHY AND LOVING RELATIONSHIPS."

  Intent Changing the Third Tradition to read "The only requirement for membership in CoDA is the desire for healthy and loving relationships with

           ourselves and then others." further contributes to turning the focus of recovery inward. The impulse of many in the program has been to look

           to earthly relationships as the aim of CoDA recovery, and the answer to a fulfilling life. People who remain in CoDA come to understand that

           the most important and core healing comes through healthy and loving relationships with a Higher Power and the self. The stability of those

           relationships is what leads us into solid relationships with other people.

  Subject   Translation Management Report

  Item:  

            Legalese:  Permission of the copyright owner, Co-Dependents Anonymous, Inc., is required prior to undertaking the translation of any CoDA

            copyrighted materials.  A Translation of copyrighted text constitutes a "derivative work" and ownership remains with the original copyright

            holder.

           

            When CoDA Receives a Request For Permission to Translate CoDA Conference Approved Materials:

           

            1.  When CoDA receives a request for permission to translate CoDA service items or literature, the Board of CoDA Inc. and the Translation

            Management Committee (TMC) will both be notified of the request.

           

            2.  The TMC will consult with the CoDA, Inc. Board to determine if there is an existing, authorized translation.

                 A.)  If such a translation exists, the request will be denied.

                 B.)  If a translation does not exist, the requesting party will

                        1)  Be asked to sign an agreement acknowledging that the CoDA copyright and

                              ownership of the translation is retained b y CoDA, Inc.

                        2)  Be asked to translate specific, representative portions of the work, so that the

                              translation can be reviewed by TMC for consistency and faithfulness to the

                              conference approved text.

           

            3.  Once the translated material is reviewed by TMC, the sample will be returned to the requesting party with either permission to proceed with

            the translation, or with recommendations for changes.  Permission to proceed will also be conditional on a signed agreement acknowledging

            ownership of the copyright by CoDA, Inc.  If changes are requested, the party will be requested to make further submissions until satisfactory

            translation is achieved.

           

            Upon receipt of an acceptable version of the translation, the general policies regarding possible licensing, publication, and distribution of the

            translation, will apply, including a determination regarding the applicability of overseas literature publication assistance.

           

            4.  If, after several submissions, the translator is unable to provide a translation acceptable to TMC, then the TMC and Board, in a joint group

            conscience, will determine whether or not to recommend professional translation assistance at the next CoDA Service Conference.

           

            If CoDA, Inc. Receives a Request that CoDA do a Translation of Conference Approved Materials:

           

            1.  If CoDA, Inc. receives a request to translate CoDA Service Conference approved materials, usually including a request to publish, the TMC

            and CoDA Board will both be notified.  The TMC and CoDA Board shall jointly discuss if there is a need for the translation.  They shall

            consider the cost, publication, pricing, distribution and any relevant factors.  If a compelling need is identified and it is financially prudent,

            TMC will estimate a budget for the requested translation and bring the recommendation to the Service Conference.

           

            2.  If the TMC and CoDA Board receive a request to create a translation where the need is readily apparent, and when the expense involved

            can be absorbed b y the TMC or translation budget, and when the expense would not meaningfully impact the overall budget of the Fellowship,

            then the TMC and CoDA Board can, by a joint group conscience, begin development of the requested translation.

           

            If Translations Have Been Completed Without Prior Permission:

           

            1.  If CoDA Inc. receives a translation of CoDA Service Conference approved literature that was developed without prior permission, the

            CoDA Board and TMC will both be notified of the request.  TMC will consult with the CoDA Board to determine if an approved translation

            already exists.

           

            2.  If such a translation exists, the party submitting the translation will be asked to refrain from any further activity regarding the translation.

           

            3.  If a translation does not exist, the party submitting the translation will

                 A)  Be advised that the translation will be reviewed by TMC, and perhaps a

                       professional translation service, for consistency and faithfulness to the original

                       text;

                 B)  Be asked to defer further activity until it has been checked;

                 C)  Be advised that the copyright belongs to Co-Dependents Anonymous, Inc.

           

            4.  Once reviewed by TMC, the translation will be returned to the submitter with either permission to proceed with the translation, or with

            recommendations for changes.  Permission to proceed will also be conditional on a signed agreement acknowledging ownership of the copyright


                                                 CoDA Service Conference Items                         Page  11

             by CoDA, Inc.  If changes are requested, the party will be requested to make further submissions until a satisfactory translation is achieved.

           

            5.  If, after several submissions, the translator is unable to provide a translation acceptable to TMC, then the TMC and Board, in a joint group

            conscience, will determine whether or not to recommend professional translation assistance at the next CoDA Service conference.

           

            Upon receipt of an acceptable version of the translation, the general policies regarding possible licensing, publication, and distribution of the

            translation, will apply, including a determination regarding the applicability of overseas literature publication assistance.

           

            Moved to accept the report and amended $20,040 budget.

  Subject   By-Law Change para 4.3 Re: election of officers

  Item:   Election and Term of Office. Each Director shall be elected at the annual meeting of the Service Conference of CoDA, for a term of three

            years, and shall hold office until such Director's successor is elected and qualified. Directors elected at the Conference will assume office at the

            annual meeting of the Board of Directors of Anonymous CoDA Publications, Inc. A Director may serve a maximum of two nonsequential

            terms with a one year absence between terms. CHANGE TO: A Director may serve a maximum of 3 three year terms.

  Intent

  Remarks CoRe, being a business arm of CoDA, would be better served in Board members had longer terms of service. A single three year term only

               allows one to get familiar with the business, and then that person must come off the board. WE believe that the longer a board member

               serves, the better.
