Jakarta, 23 July 2023 Members of the World Subud Association,
Links to World Subud Congress Guidelines: EN FR SP Dear
The main agenda of the meeting was the MSF Trustees Selection and the proposed amendment to MSF Bylaws. Before those two items were discussed the meeting approved last month’s BOD Minutes of Meeting and the meeting’s agenda. The WSA board, after discussion and listening to explanation from MSF’s trustees, had no more comments and in general have no outstanding issue and agree to the changes proposed by MSF to MSF’s Bylaws. A board resolution will be proposed and approved. On the matter of MSF Trustee Selection, the joint WSA and MSF team with the support the International Helpers will work on the selection process. Discussed with MSF was also the plan for funding the WSA Archives Facility in Canberra.
These were a listening meeting to hear the World Congress proposals submitted by the two National Organizations in December 2022 and January 2023. Australia submitted a proposal to change the WSA Bylaws in the form of a Charter, and Britain submitted proposals that would impact the WSA Bylaws on the definition of ‘consensus’ in decision making, “WSA membership,” and on the use of the term “International Subud Committee.”
