    • Tabled
  • A complaint was lodged that particular share was disturbing in its reference to white supremacy, and the host did not intervene to re-direct or stop the share.
    • No context for the share was given in the complaint. No names were given and no time-frame. Hard to distinguish what occurred at the time. 
    • Thoughts? Is there a way to prevent this beyond our GC for Host discretion with a mini GC in the Live Thread? 
    • Al proposed to have the GC for share re-direction posted in the Announcement Thread as a reminder. Seconded & Passed
    • This issue is also remanded to the trainers
    • We are sticking to our original GC for Host Discretion, Share re-direction, and mini GC in the Live Thread.
  • Kristen proposed that we include the GC of service members’ sobriety. Posting a reminder in the Announcement Thread about how to handle situations where the Host’s/Cohosts’ sobriety is in question. This is a program of integrity. No shame in taking time to work on recovery.
