Online meetings, using standard online protocol, will be held in the AAOnline Meeting Room and in the Daily Thoughts Discussion Room. The ODAAT Club is a 24 hour Chat Room or "Club House" for recovery related chat, though the other rooms may be used for chat between meetings.
Our Meetings use a variation what is called Standard Online Protocol to simulate the various mutations of Robert's Rules of Order used at Face To Face Meetings.
Protocol:
Type ! if you wish to share--this is equivalent to raising your hand at a meeting. We ask members not to raise their hand until the meeting leader had finished their opening share. That way no one will be missed.
Type ? if you have a question--if will be answered with an Instant Message or a Whisper.
Type "ga" when you're finished sharing. "GA" means Go Ahead.
Please wait until you're called on--ga UserName--by the meeting leader before sharing.
Meetings run very smoothly when we follow this simple--once we understand it--protocol.
To make everyones experience at AAOnline a happy one, we ask everyone to observe the following Room Purpose Reminder:

We ought to all be aware that we might be the only copy of the Big Book that some visitors to the room will ever see...
