Script Requirements
WHAT To Update
Scripts should include the five items below, using the Open Share Script TEMPLATE as a reference to get the most up-to-date content. Its most recent updates are from JUNE 2026, so MOST SCRIPTS ARE CURRENTLY OUT OF DATE.
- Identify the meeting as WWVM in SIA.
- List and link (or paste in) meeting readings. UPDATED 2026
- A warning after reading the guidelines for safe sharing and link to the GFSS training manual: “If someone continues to cross existing guidelines, a Group Conscience Safety Check can be held and they may be asked to leave until they are able to own their behavior and agree not to engage this way again. For assistance interpreting the GFSS, see the 12 Guidelines Reference Manual ”
- The current 7th Tradition / Pass the Virtual Basket info. “SIA is fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions. Please give a few dollars per meeting, if you can.” UPDATED 2025
- Current contact information for the WWVM admin and correct links for SIA and WWVM documents. UPDATED 2026
- Zoom time limit for fellowship info. “Fellowship on the meeting can occur in the 15 minutes before or after a meeting ends. Please end the meeting on time, as meetings can be blocked from starting while another is in progress. Not all meetings are on the calendar or meeting list.”
UPDATES Are Required
- Script changes requested by the admin (because of SIA policy or contact information updates) typically happen a couple of times a year
- A request for Chairs to make script changes are sent to the meeting email address. Meetings may go dark if the script isn’t kept up to date.
- The admin doesn’t update scripts, but will mark them as out of date and comment on the required changes.
- A script with an asterisk* after the name is known to be out of date in some way.
- Script changes initiated by the meeting have to be approved by group conscience in the meeting and not invalidate any of the WWVM requirements.
HOW To CREATE Google Drive Scripts:
Meeting scripts are created by the chair when the meeting is first scheduled.
- Use an app that can create an editable text document (not a pdf).
- Use the Open Share Script TEMPLATE to verify that the script includes all required items and that all info is up to date.
- Email the document (NOT A PDF) to the admin.
Scripts will be uploaded to the drive by the WWVM admin and are owned by the WWVM account to ensure access isn’t lost if the original chair is no longer serving.
HOW To UPDATE Scripts
- Find the script in the Google Drive Script Library [if it’s not there you’ll need create a new one and email it to the admin]
- Use the “Request edit access” button top of the document if you don’t already have permissions to edit.
- Make the changes to the document.
- When updates are complete (or if you need help), email the admin at wwvm.admin@siawso.org.
