Found it in the Al-Anon/Alateen 2014-2017 Service Manual, page 47, bottom footnote.

Go to : https://al-anon.org/member-resources/service-manual

To save some time, type in "49" in the little page number window above the book and hit "enter". That will take you to page 47. The software index is two pages greater than the actual page numbers.

Not sure of the reasoning, but General Services or their conference must have had some logic to it. Maybe conflicting "primary purposes", LOL.
