Subject: ALAUX 007/20 - AUXILIARY TELEPHONIC / ELECTRONIC MEETING WAIVER
From the ALAUX: Circumstances brought on by the current COVID-19 pandemic warrant maximized use of telephonic and electronic means for Auxiliary units and committees to conduct their meetings. It is also recognized that many Auxiliary units have not adopted the corresponding Standing Rules Telephonic/Electronic Meeting appendices, and that many COVID-19-based travel restrictions now prevent in-person Auxiliary meetings at which such appendices could be properly adopted.
Given these circumstances, the requirement for Auxiliary units to adopt the corresponding Standing Rules Telephonic/Electronic Meeting appendices is waived until further notice. The requirement to follow the provisions within those appendices as well as those of Auxiliary Manual Section 4.E.9. remains in effect.
