Subject: [BOARD-L] Motion 99-25


I move to Amend Previously Adopted Motion 99-25.

Issue: Motion to Appoint a Secretary
Date: 12 September 1999
Motion #99-25:I move that Motion 99-2 be rescinded and that the Board
appoint a secretary for the one year term of Board II or until dismissed by
Board II or a succeeding Board. Further,
That the secretary nominee be selected from among the volunteer membership
of the USGenWeb Project.
That the nominee to this position not be currently serving as a Board
member.
That the nominee be nominated by the National Coordinator and appointed by
a majority vote of a quorum of the Board. Rejection of a nominee will
require the NC to forward another name.
The appointee must either be knowledgeable in parliamentary procedure or be
willing to learn proper procedure using Roberts Rules and be well versed in
the Project Bylaws. Duties of the appointee shall be those assigned by the
Chair (NC). The NC shall insure that the secretary be subscribed to all
appropriate mailing lists. As a minimum these lists would be the
USGENWEB-ALL-L, STATE-COORD-L, ARCHIVES-L, the Board-Exec-L and the Board-L.

Since the duties and responsibilities of the Board Secretary are defined by
the NC, as stated in the original motion, the NC should have the
prerogative of selecting someone he/she feels comfortable with.
