The USGenWeb Logo on the OHGenWeb Main State Page
http://www.scioto.org/OHGenWeb/ has a link to
http://www.radix.net/~merope/usgwcd.htm. On this page is a blackened
USGenWeb Logo and the title "A SIMPLE ACT OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE". This
is a protest page that says "...all links to the USGenWeb Project have
been removed from this site. ..."

This is a blatant violation of the standards for state web sites as
outlined at http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/statepage.html.

The following links are required for all state pages: counties within
the state The USGenWeb Project -http://www.usgenweb.org or
http://www.usgenweb.net, and the USGenWeb Archives Project -
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb.

An optional link to the archives search option might also be included
http://searches.rootsweb.com/usgwarch.html.

A link to The USGenWeb Project's Guidelines/Standards for county web
sites, including a link the Official Project Name/Logo page. The
USGenWeb Project Copyright Information page, WorldGenWeb Project -
http://www.worldgegenweb.org/which dates back to the earliest days of
the project and predate the bylaws.

These actions are interpreted as constituting a resignation. I,
therefore, move that we accept the resignation of OHGenWeb from the
USGenWeb Project.

This motion is made with the utmost respect for the OHGW County
coordinators, and in no way is meant to jeopardize their good standing
within the USGenWeb Project. This action was taken by the SC contrary
to the expressed wishes of the county coordinators.

Tina S. Vickery
NE/NC County Coordinator Representative
