==================================================================================================== ==================================================================================================== ==================================================================================================== The History of AAHomeGroup.org AAHomeGroup was NOT created by 247. AAHomeGroup.org was created about a week BEFORE 247aaonline.com fell apart. It was created by several who decided to go and start a new, independent, and a truly 12 tradition run group. We had 9~10 original founding members, of which we elected 5 to positions to take the task of organizing and creating the new site. That was put into motion, and while we were setting up the site, the 247 site began to implode, with many quitting the former site left and right. We were not planning to have our first meeting until Wednesday June 3rd, but 247 imploded over Monday evening / Tuesday morning. So since we already had our Zoom account set up, and several people on 247 knew we were starting up independently, they made motions to redirect the 247 group to move en masse to AAHomeGroup.org. Those who do choose to remain with AAHomeGroup.org, are, and will be treated as full group membership as per all 12 traditions. So that is why there were two sets of trusted servants... but the new site was and is AAHomeGroup.org, and it's set of trusted servants stand as such for limited terms of 6 months at which time we re-assess and choose new servants as maybe the group conscience. This in no way, shape, or form is anything like the path 247aaonline.com had taken. NONE of us OWN personally anything. The group and it's digital assets / accounts belong to the group. We'll work out how to legally handle these assets as we go. But we submit that several of us contributed... no one person controls it all. A member bought some domains. Another member originated the Zoom and it's extended participant license. Still another originated the AAHomeGroup.org domain and website. We refuse to claim ownership to it beyond our elect term(s) as trusted servant(s). Right and title will pass as per group conscience. There is no cool-aid punch-bowl here. We had not planned on passing 100 participants so quickly... fully expected that to take MUUUUCH longer. But when we got wind of the fallout, the Zoom participant upgrade was purchased so we could take in as many as needed or wanted to come over. We have a treasurer who is currently setting up the seventh tradition so that the group truly owns it own needs and room. (Added UPDATE: the seventh tradition account has been set up and the link to submit donations to the group will be added to the website ASAP.)
