NOTE from Hank: I realized that I left out two important Conference Advisory Actions from my PowerPoint presentation. Two Recommendations from the Conference Committee on Policy and Admissions, and how the Conference dealt with them:

1. Recommendation: Recognize online groups in the general service structure and encourage their participation; list the online groups in the area and district the group prefers; the default area and district would be where the group's primary contact resides.
     First vote: 85-46 (65%; fails for lack of substantial unanimity)
     Minority opinion/Motion for Reconsideration: 106-22
     Final vote: 107-22 (85%; passes)
2: Recommendation: General Service Board form a Committee to explore possibilities for participation of online groups:
     Vote: 125-5 (96%; passes)
Members please note this is my description of the Recommendations is my own summary. Actual text of the Recommendations is found in the Advisory Actions in the PDF already posted . 
Thanks to all for your service!!!       God bless, Hank
