   DIR By: chairperson

       Service Structure Proposal Discussion Points
       The following is a list of discussion points regarding the
       “Service Structure Proposal”. Brief history or reasoning for
       including these points in the proposal is included. This
       proposal has undergone changes and now reads as questions to
       best obtain Nicotine Anonymous member feedback.
       Proposals for Discussion/Consideration
       1.
       or other number of years?
       -
       of beyond.
       -
       affordable for additional members to join the conference,
       including international attendees.
       2.
       committee meetings, motions, discussion, and decisions on
       issues?
       -
       during the WSC. This doesn't allow for much time for committees
       to actually conduct business and bring motions to the floor.
       3.
       different length term?
       -
       a better way to do this to ensure those serving have time to
       learn the positions and help guide those coming into the roles?
       4.
       consecutive terms?
       -
       members are continually on the board.
       5.
       board later decide who to serve as Chair, Secretary and
       Treasurer?
       -
       then, the board, as a group, would vote to determine who will
       serve in each position. This would allow all on the board to
       learn other roles than just Chair, Secretary or Treasurer.
       6.
       member of a committee or other NAWS service position for one
       year before being nominated to serve on the board?
       -
       boards or committees may struggle and "burn-out", or just be
       wrong fits for positions but afraid to say no when nominated.
       7.
       service positions? Should we clarify some minimum number of
       members to have in a committee?
       -
       Involvement by others seems stifled.
       -
       Should the same person be allowed to chair multiple committees?
       How Can This Work?
       (Looking for additional ideas and wants of the NicA community)
       Delegate Terms and Service Appointments
       1.
       participate in service and committee membership?
       -
       should likely remain that way. However, would some guidance help
       with this and ensure smoother transitions on committees?
       2.
       -
       best for groups across the fellowship?
       3.
       committees during their term?
       -
       meetings they are voted as Delegate to represent. This mainly
       takes place at the World Service Conference. Would it be better
       to ask the Delegate to be involved in more aspects of this
       program?
       4.
       increased participation in service?
       -
       but the idea might help.
       Conference Schedule
       1.
       to improve conference participation and floor actions?
       2.
       Reports, Coordinator/Committee Reports during the conference?
       3.
       conference, enabling delegates to focus on issues that need to
       be addressed?
       Standing Committees
       1.
       fellowship?
       -
       participate.
       Conference Communications Plan
       1.
       conference activities to increase representation of groups at
       the World Service Conference?
