Other Issues that Will Be Discussed at WSC 2010
At WSC 2010, we will be discussing options for improved service delivery throughout all
components of our service system: structure, process, people, and resources. We want to forward
these discussions through the 2010–2012 cycle. We encourage everyone to read the essay on
page 8 to gain all of the background information and share your ideas with your delegate so that
we can have fruitful discussions at the conference and beyond.
NAWS Resources (page 17 )
We have all been affected by the economic downturn, some of us more directly than others. In this CAR
we discuss NAWS resources, and the Annual Report provides more detailed information. We are
continuing to seek ways to cut costs at world services while reducing the impact on service delivery as
much as possible. One of the items we will discuss with conference participants is The NA Way
Magazine. We understand there is some benefit from this magazine to our members and to NAWS, yet
we are aware of the waste that comes from automatic distribution of paper copies to all registered NA
groups. We would like to discuss possible solutions with conference participants and to try changes in
distribution before making any changes to policy. Please read the essay on page 17 and help your
delegate come ready to discuss our NA Way distribution practices.
Literature Development (page 28 )
Several of the regional motions in this CAR focus on some aspect of the literature development
process. We hope to have a more holistic discussion at the conference about the literature
development process, including how to more effectively involve interested members. How realistic
is our current review and input process with our worldwide membership, and does this process
positively affect our literature? Does a lengthy approval process make sense when approval is
simply a “yes” or “no” for a completed work? What literature processes would serve us best today
and in the future? We look forward to discussing all of these issues at the conference. Please read
the essay on ( page 28 ) and share your thoughts with your delegate.
