SUBMIT QUESTIONS FOR RED LIGHT / GREEN LIGHT

Questions to be Researched

Fall Assembly October 2023: 

• Question 1: " What do you do if you are at a meeting at a facility (church, meeting hall, etc.) that uses cameras to record the meeting or people coming in and out of the facility? Some just use a camera without a microphone, and some use both audio and video?"
• Question 2:  "How should a group deal with an attendee who continually disregards group protocols and Al-Anon Traditions, especially when the person has already been spoken to gently in private?"

Recent Red Light/Green Light Research

​​Spring Assembly June 2023:
​(Note: these 2 items below are in a "Red Light/Green Light" section in the password-protected area, please contact a Panel member for access)

• Question 1 - Are we breaking anonymity when we talk about the alcoholic in our lives (child, spouse, friend) when sharing at a meeting?
• Question 2 - Can a group of professional people who meet together for mutual aid for a problem of alcoholism in a relative or friend call themselves an Al-Anon Family Group, and be listed by WSO if they only want other 'professionals' in their group, and are not being charged rent for their meeting space​​​
