Jeff S., Trustee and WSCP liaision – Gave the opening welcome.
Susan T. – Congratulations were given on the successful Convocation and thanks to all for a lot of
extremely hard work that made it happen and gave us a clear Group Conscience toward moving
toward Reunification. 128 in attendance over the weekend; 47 voting members – GSRs, AGSRs,
+IGRs.
Susan also encouraged us to “Raise a Call for Leadership” and encourage more leaders to come
from within the organization. She said “Leadership requires vulnerability.”

1st Motion: whether to send a recommendation and request for guidance to the General Service
Board regarding the holding of a Future Joint World Service Conference with the body represented
by the “UA WSC Elected Trustees” of We Are All UA.org.
1. Recommendation to the GSB Regarding a Future Joint World Service Conference
Explanation: This topic originated as second ranked Topic of Consideration in the 2025 survey.
Because the fellowship recently voted to begin reunification with the other major service body,
forwarding this TOC as a motion to the WSC would be premature and potentially out of order under
Robert’s Rules. The WSCP Committee is therefore asked to consider sending a recommendation
and request for guidance to the General Service Board.
Draft Communication to Approve:

“A joint World Service Conference ranked second among the 2025 Topics of
Consideration, indicating interest within the Fellowship. In light of the fellowship’s recent vote to
begin exploring reunification with the goal of one organization inclusive of all
underearners worldwide, the WSCP Committee requests guidance from the General Service
Board regarding whether planning should begin for a future joint World Service Conference
with the other major service body. What direction, if any, does the Board wish to give the
WSCP Committee regarding collaboration or coordination related to a future joint WSC?
When should the two WSCP Committees begin working together?”

Discussion – varied – most in favor of having a joint WSC in 2026 if possible – not to wait until 2027.
Vote : 11 for sending the draft to the GSB; 1 against; 1 abstain. Recommendation will be sent.

2nd Motion: The Underearners Anonymous World Service Conference (WSC) Planning
Committee suggests that the UA GSB meet with the “the UA WSC Elected Trustees” aka “We
are All UA” in January 2026. Motion carries.
Vote: 9 for (clarifying the timing); 1 against; 1 abstain.

3rd Motion: Debora: Motion to extend the meeting 5 minutes/Second by Betzi. Motion carries.
Vote: 7 for; 0 against; 1 abstain.
Re: elections: We, the WSC Committee, since we do not have an answer from the GSB about
whether we can vote in our own chairperson, agreed to vote for our choice for Chair and submit that
preference to the GSB as a recommendation.

4th Motion: The Underearners Anonymous World Service Conference (WSC) Planning
Committee recommends Janine for election to Chair of the UA World Service
Conference Planning Committee. Motion carries.
Discussion: Janine filled out the application, answered extensive questioning in the previous
meeting and performed well as Greeter Coordinator during the Convocation.
Janine is the Committee’s choice for Chair (to be submitted to the GSB).
Vote: 7 for; 0 against; 1 abstain.
Janine spoke that if she is elected chair, she is willing to work with Athena (who also was nominated
for Chair, but who did not fill out the application.) Athena was nominated for Vice-Chair and said in
a prior meeting that she was willing to work with certain chairs. Vice-Chair and the rest of elections
to be voted on in the next meeting: January 6, 2026.

Motion to end by Chuck & seconded by Betzi.
Meeting ended with the We version of the Serenity Prayer: 6:11 pm Eastern/3:11 pm Pacific time.
Minutes respectfully submitted by
Betzi R. in LA – GSR – THURSDAY PPC meeting 12:15 Eastern time,
