4. CURRENT LITERATURE – Item #31 in Chicago

Guidance Code – Article VII, Section 1 PURPOSE OF THE AMENDMENT This amendment updates Article VII, Section 1 to recognize that Gamblers Anonymous groups may meet in person or by remote means, including video conference and telephone conference. The amendment does not alter any existing requirements but rather serves to simplify that the requirements set forth in Article VII Section 1 are applicable for all Gamblers Anonymous meetings (in person or remote), and that they represent the only criteria for authorization.

Current Version – Whenever two or more persons with a desire to stop gambling meet together on a regular, weekly scheduled basis to discuss their gambling problems, they will be known as a group only if they commit themselves to follow Gamblers Anonymous Guidance Code and limit their use, display and distribution to only approved and appropriate Gamblers Anonymous literature. They are also to notify the International Service Office (I.S.O.) of their existence. Failure to comply with Guidance Code will result in the meeting no longer being recognized as part of Gamblers Anonymous and such meeting will be removed from the International Service Office directory of meetings.

Proposed Version: – (new language shown in bold, not to be bolded when adopted) Whenever two or more persons with a desire to stop gambling meet together on a regular, weekly scheduled basis to discuss their gambling problems, they will be known as a Group (also referred to as a Meeting) only if they commit themselves to follow Gamblers Anonymous Guidance Code and limit their use, display and distribution to only approved and appropriate Gamblers Anonymous literature. Groups are not defined or limited by meeting location: a group may meet in person or by remote means, including but not limited to video conference or telephone conference. They are also to notify the International Service Office (I.S.O.) of their existence. Failure to comply with Guidance Code will result in the group no longer being recognized as part of Gamblers Anonymous and such group will be removed from the International Service Office directory of meetings.
