Subject: Webmaster: Proposed Bylaws Amendment
Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2005 02:10:29 -0500


Mike,

Please post the following proposed bylaws amendment to the national web
site, as specified in bylaw Article XVI, Sections 2 and 3 . . .

The USGenWeb Advisory Board is in receipt of the following Bylaws
Amendment Proposal, sponsored by the ARGenWeb and co-sponsored by
MSGenWeb, TXGenWeb, DEGenWeb, MIGenWeb, ORGenWeb and WIGenWeb Projects:

Current Article: ARTICLE V. COMPOSITION OF ADVISORY BOARD

The Advisory Board membership shall consist of: the National
Coordinator, four (4) State Coordinator Regional Representatives, eight
(8) Local Coordinator Regional Representatives, one (1) representative
each from The USGenWeb Archives Project, The USGenWeb Census Project,
and The USGenWeb Tombstone Project, and beginning in 1999, one (1)
at-large representative. All shall have voting privileges except the
National Coordinator who shall vote only in the case of a tie. The
regions from which State Coordinator and Local Coordinator
Representatives are elected shall be decided by the Advisory Board on an
annual basis.

Strike "one (1) representative each from The USGenWeb Archives Project,
The USGenWeb Census Project, and The USGenWeb Tombstone Project," and
replace with "one (1) Special Projects representative elected by members
of The USGenWeb Archives Project, The USGenWeb Census Project, and The
USGenWeb Tombstone Project" . . .

The amended article will then read:

ARTICLE V. COMPOSITION OF ADVISORY BOARD

The Advisory Board membership shall consist of: the National
Coordinator, four (4) State Coordinator Regional Representatives, eight
(8) Local Coordinator Regional Representatives, one (1) Special Projects
representative elected by members of the special projects, and one (1)
at-large representative. All shall have voting privileges except the
National Coordinator who shall vote only in the case of a tie. The
regions from which State Coordinator and Local Coordinator
Representatives are elected shall be decided by the Advisory Board on an
annual basis.

In addition, the Section 3 of Article XIII regarding Special Projects
would need to be amended:

Current article: ARTICLE XIII. SPECIAL PROJECTS

Section 3. The staff members of The USGenWeb Archives Project, The
USGenWeb Census Project, and The USGenWeb Tombstone Project shall each
elect one Special Project Representative to serve as a voting member of
The USGenWeb Project Advisory Board.

This amended section would read: Section 3. The staff members of any
special projects (as defined in Section 1) shall elect one Special
Project Representative to serve as a voting member of The USGenWeb
Project Advisory Board.

Thank you,

Shari Handley
National Coordinator
The USGenWeb Project
