World Wide Virtual Meetings

Script Requirements

WWVM Required Script Content

1. This group was named “World Wide Virtual Meetings” in SIA in 2021.
   • All scripts need to clearly show that they belong to the WWVM group.
   • Old references to SIA WSC Zoom or WSC Zoom Rooms or World Service Zoom should be changed to World Wide Virtual Meetings or WWVM. (2021)
2. These sets of readings or (better yet) links to the versions in the script library. Read all the traditions at the required quarterly business meeting. (2020)
   • All WWVM meetings:
     • The 12 Steps of SIA
     • One of the 12 Traditions of SIA
   • WWVM share format meetings only: (not workshops)
     • WWVM 12 Safety Guidelines
     • Legacy Of Incest
     • Definition Of Incest
     • The Solution
   • WWVM workshops only: (not ordinary share format meetings)
     • WWVM Abbreviated 12 Safety Guidelines
3. 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 ” (2020)
   This statement comes from Tradition One, has been a part of the script template for new meetings since the inception of virtual meetings in SIA in about 2019, and was ratified in the 12 Guidelines Reference Manual by the WWVM Intergroup in May 2022. This gives meetings the right to remove a participant from the meeting in emergency situations and in non-emergencies through a Group Conscience defined in Tradition Two.
4. The current 7th Tradition / Pass the Virtual Basket info. “SIA is fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions. Please give at a few dollars per meeting, if you can.” (2025 updated per BOT)
5. Current contact information for the WWVM admin, the SIA calendar link, SIA literature link, and how to subscribe to SIA and WWVM newsletters. (2025 update)
   SIA 7th tradition https://siawso.org/contribute
   WWVM group: https://siawso.org/wwvm (WWVM scripts, newsletter)
   WWVM admin email: wwvm.admin@siawso.org
   SIA fellowship: https://siawso.org (meeting directory, literature)
   Calendar: https://siawso.org/calendar
6. 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.”

Creating And Editing Scripts

Updating Scripts In The Google Drive Script Library

• Script changes requested by the meeting have to be approved by group conscience in the meeting and not invalidate any of the WWVM requirements.
• Script changes 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. Edit the script in the Google Drive by clicking on the “Request edit access” button.
  • The admin won’t change script content once the initial script is approved (contains all the required information), but may highlight changes and add comments about out of date contact information, policies, announcements, or group conscience content changes.

Creating Scripts For A New Meeting

• Meeting scripts are submitted when the meeting is first scheduled.
• You can use the _Open Share Script in the library as a starting point for new scripts and a source for the most recent contact info. 

Administration Of Google Drive Scripts:

Scripts in the shared google drive directory are named DAY 00:00 ET Meeting Name, because sometimes the only difference in the meeting name (Open Share, or Steps Workshop) is the day and time they meet, like WED 9:00 PM Open Share and FRI 9:00 PM Open Share. Scripts are owned by the WWVM administrator account so that access isn’t lost if the original author is no longer doing service.

Adopted May 2022. Updated: October 2025 with new contact info.
