Service Needed during the January 2025 World Service Conference.
Your commitment to A.R.T.S. and its work to carry the message to artists who still struggle is met with gratitude.
Ideally, 2-3 trusted servants fill each position, so as not to burden any one person too much.
All positions entail judgment, the willingness to learn and adapt, being prepared, anticipating what is next and taking direction without distraction. This ensures the smooth operation of the Conference sessions so that the group conscience process is supported and remains unified.
Security Person: This person has the requisite skills and experience to listen and help others who are having difficulty contributing in a positive manner to the Conference proceedings. A willingness to provide warnings, talk things over one-on-one, and use good judgment in determining whether a participant can continue to participate is needed.
Zoom Tech: Zoom Tech Skills include (but may not be limited to):
-
- Managing hosting and co-hosting roles
- Managing and messaging participants in the Waiting Room as necessary
- Ability to provide the zoom registration link or meeting invitation to attendees having difficulty joining
- Renaming and muting attendees as appropriate, including muting all
- Enable recordings, captioning, and assist those who want captions in their chosen language
- Having the timer app, knowing how to use it, using it as directed
- Copy and paste information into the chat if needed
- Screenshare as needed
- Provide technical support to whoever is screensharing
- Ability to remove someone as directed
- Staying in communication with the Conference Chair and others via WhatsApp and/or the chat
Scribe: During the World Service Conference, we go through motions together which are done using the Community Problem Solving Method form. This form is Screenshared by the Scribe, so it is in full view of everyone present. The Community Problem Solving Method form will already contain the Original Motion and the Final Motion ready to craft.
The Scribe will then fill out the form section by section in real time as guided by the facilitator and the presenters. View the Community Solving Method Form here.
The Scribe will first be inputting the Pros and Cons One by one, as they are presented by the Delegates. (Facilitator will guide this process).
Secondly the Scribe will be altering the Final Motion (After Crafting) section during the crafting process, guided by the Presenter of the Motion, who will accept or reject any possible crafts to the motion.
Third along the line is recording the vote, In favor, Opposed or Abstentions and whether the Motion has passed or not.
Lastly if the motion passes, there will be an opportunity for the minority opinion to be heard, this is documented in its entirety.
The Scribe then emails the form to the Conference Chair for distribution as needed and to be presented in Conference Report.
Required skills for a Scribe.
- To be a quick typist
- To be accurate
- To work under a reasonable amount of pressure
Thank you everyone, Yours in service Matt B -Conference Chair.
