@ATLCOTech,

This really comes down to personal preference of whoever maintains the list or the group conscience of your AA entity

IMHO, if the closure is short and you’re confident the meeting will resume, I’d mark it Temporarily Closed (TC) rather than Draft/Private. In our area we use TC for:

• Short-term closures (like your parking-lot repaving example)
• Seasonal meetings during their off-season

Pros of using TC / Cons of using Draft or Private

• TC keeps the meeting visible (clearly labeled as “Temporarily Closed”) so people know it exists and will return.
• TC keeps the meeting in exports/feeds/backups and preserves its stable ID/URL.

Things to consider

• marking meetings as Draft or Private hides it on the meeting list
• BUT, it also excludes it from exports/feeds—so a backup done during that window won’t include it.
• You could add a short note with dates/reason, e.g., “Closed Sept 8–12 for parking-lot repaving; resumes Sept 13.”
