Guidelines for the Niagara Intergroup Website

The primary objective of the Niagara Intergroup website is to provide members of Alcoholics Anonymous who live in or near the area of Niagara Intergroup with a gateway into Alcoholics Anonymous for the alcoholic who still suffers.

The Niagara Intergroup of Alcoholics Anonymous owns the domain name NIAGARAINTERGROUP.COM and is the final authority for its use and content.

Problems associated with the website shall be resolved by a majority vote of the Intergroup Representatives.  

Last names of members of AA and personal telephone numbers will not be used on the Website to thoroughly protect all members' anonymity.

 

E-mail will be the primary means of communication. The only e-mail address is that of Niagara Intergroup at niagaraintergroup@gmail.com.

Links to the AA General Service Office (GSO) and the AA Grapevine may be made with no qualification or reservation.

Links to other AA websites may be made with the caveat that they are not GSO-approved because the GSO has a strict policy to not endorse or approve websites.

The Webmaster is responsible to maintain the website, incorporating meeting changes and special events.

Links may be added or deleted by a simple majority vote of Intergroup representatives.

 

The Web person shall be appointed by the Chairperson of Niagara Intergroup and shall have the status of a committee chairperson. The Webmaster is responsible to the Niagara Intergroup and shall report website activities at Niagara Intergroup meetings on the third Sunday of each month, excepting July, August and December, which are held at 2:00 p.m. in the Hooker Auditorium at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center on 10th Street, Niagara Falls, NY.

 

The Webmaster shall provide the Niagara Intergroup Treasurer with the address and passwords required to access the Website server files. In addition, the Webmaster shall attempt to enlist a competent backup Webmaster who will also be given the same addresses and passwords.
