GUIDELINES COMMITTEE WEEKLY REPORT, for the week ending April 13 2002
===
On April 7, the weekly report was submitted to the Project. A comment was
received from a member who suggested that in considering the requirement of
a local resources listing the committee is overstepping its bounds and that
long-term members of the Project will object. This comment was discussed
by the Committee and the members are in general agreement that the
Guidelines Committee may need to recommend changes that go beyo

But, it would be a good idea to pass a simple motion because that is
appropriate for dealing with this situation.
In order for me to supp
Kathy, would you mind "tweaking" this motion just a little? Like, have the
National Coordinator, appoint a person to fill the vacancy. As opposed to
the Nation (sic) Coordinator appoint a secretary to fill the vacancy.

Yes Tina,
Here it is.

Phyllis,
Thanks for clarifying this... I had thought that new decisions as a result
of overrode old decisions and the idea that we would have to first rescind
seemed quite odd. Just like with codicils to wills, a new motion, once
passed overrides anything said previously.

Yes, the Archives considers itself part of the USGenWeb Project.
We have no bylaws......only guidelines on copyright, filename format and
directory structure.

I had no problem with the outline of the Board Secretaries duties and
qualifications in Motion 02-09. The only real change I would make there is
that perhaps we don't need to require all those skills but rather phrase it
something like:
The duties of the Secretary may include.......
instead of *will* include...
Thus a candidate who is lacking one skill may be acceptable
no

If this is pertaining to the census project, the answer is because
they were forced to do things for themselves after the de-linking.
However, their election have been conducted as such to try and
abide by the USGW Bylaws, for electing Coordinators, etc.

You know it is absolutely astounding to me that something as simple as
having a Board Secretary is so mind boggling to so many members. You would
think that we were electing some one to guard Fort Knox or something.! Do
you all realize how silly this is? I do and I am not the smartest page in
the book! It is not surprising that nothing can be accomplished with this
group, I am very frustrated and ashamed.
