Motion from cayotejoes:

My motion is to discuss the act of devoicing or kicking as abusive behavior in cases where another resolve (or resolves) can clearly be made (with a concern for the individual as a recovering person who needs to feel safe at all times) and where the individual being addressed is evidently not a perpetrator or someone causing imminent danger to the group. The feeling I had Sunday night after getting kicked (and for the next two days) is never warranted, under any circumstances. I motion for this situation to be scrupulously and deeply examined in light of the same pattern occurring at a face to face slaa meeting, and how this can be better addressed to ensure that no one in an slaa meeting (unless they are clearly a perpetrator, and causing danger to the group) will be treated in such a manner.

Motion was discussed at length. Then the presenter accepted following amendment that supercedes the original motion:

Another separate meeting be established for the specific purpose of discussing this motion further among all, not just officers.

This amended motion was then voted on and defeated by majority vote.

Motion to adjourn (no meeting time left) was made and passed.
