Script Requirements
Scripts Must Be In The Google Drive Script Library
New scripts have to be emailed to the admin in a Google Doc compatible format and use the Open Share Script TEMPLATE to get started.
Updates have to be made to the version in the Google Drive Script Library. See the bottom of this document for instructions.
Scripts Must include
- Identification of the meeting as WWVM in SIA and explain the difference.
- List and link (or paste in): SIA 12 steps and traditions, WWVM guidelines for sharing.
- Open share meetings list and link (or paste in): definition, legacy, and solution.
- A warning after reading the guidelines and link to the GFSS 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“
- 7th Tradition statement: “SIA is fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions. Please give a few dollars per meeting, if you can.”
- 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. The chair or designated moderator needs to be present for the fellowship.”

- A request for Chairs to make script changes are sent to the meeting email address.
- The admin doesn’t update scripts, but will mark them as out of date and comment on the required changes.
- A script with an asterisk* after the name is known to be out of date in some way.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.
