by

At the Sydney Intergroup Meeting, at noon on Saturday August 13, a vote will be taken on amendments to the Intergroup Constitution. The proposed amendments would transition Sydney Intergroup into the Australian Intergroup, giving representation to all Australian in-person and virtual groups.

All face-to-face groups in Sydney and surrounding areas (Newcastle and Wollongong) are eligible to send a representative to vote at this meeting which will be held on Zoom. Any member may attend as an observer.

Victorian Intergroup had proposed the idea of merging with Sydney Intergroup to create the Australian Intergroup. Victorian Intergroup will cease after creation of the national Intergroup.

Draft Australian Intergroup Constitution available for feedback

by

In 2021 the Sydney and Victorian Intergroups agreed, in principle, to merge, to create the SLAA Australian Intergroup. This would give Intergroup representation, for the first time, to all in-person and virtual meetings nationally.

Amendments to the Sydney Intergroup Constitution have been proposed that would create the Australian Intergroup Constitution. The proposed amendments are effectively the Draft Australian Intergroup Constitution.

Suggested amendments are presented in “track changes“. This shows exactly what words in the current Sydney Intergroup Consitution are proposed to be inserted and deleted. The suggested changes are deliberately minimal. Explanatory comments in the document give further information about the proposed amendments.

Feedback is sought, from SLAA groups and members nationally. Please submit feedback or questions to [email protected] before the next Sydney Intergroup meeting on April 30, 2022.
