January  , 2002 RSC Motions

(Voted on in April, 2002)

  9/0/1
Motion No: 2002:01           Date:  01/13/2002
Name:  RS

Motion:  To make the terms of service of the RD and RDA's to coincide with that of the World Service Conference

Intent:  The conference is on a two-year cycle, beginning with the July following the conference.  The terms of the RD and RDA's are on a two-year cycle also, but they do not run concurrent with the conference.  During the conference's cycle, work is done to prepare for the next conference.  The way ORSCNA has things set up now, the RD leaves, and a new RDA steps up, in the middle of the work.  In order to provide for a smoother transition, the terms should run during the same period.

  9/0/1
Motion No:  2002:02          Date:  1/13/2002
Name:  RS

Motion:   To remove the RDA2 position from ORSCNA

Intent:  To keep from wasting manpower that could be more useful in furthering our primary purpose.  The conference is on a 2-year cycle now.  There have been many changes since this came about.  Above all, as we can see from this year's CAR, we are streamlining the way things are done.  We thought there would be much more information to go through with the 2-year cycle, when in reality, there is less than what we had with the conference being held every year.  The idea of an RDA2 was one that we wanted to see if we needed.  Over the last 2 1/2 years there has not been more work than two people can handle.  In this light, the RDA2 position takes an addict with willingness to serve this fellowship, and puts him or her in a Trusted Servant position that takes away from other ways that they could better serve.
