Attending first to Old Business:

I move that a committee be formed for the purpose of drafting a proposed
set of procedures to handle grievances submitted by USGenWeb members.
The proposed procedures may not conflict with The USGenWeb Project
Bylaws. The committee will be comprised of six USGenWeb Members In Good
Standing, two of whom are current members of the Advisory Board, and
four of whom are neither current Advisory Board members nor Advisory
Board members-elect.

The NC will issue a call for volunteers willing to serve and will then
submit a prospective slate of committee members to the AB. The Advisory
Board will vote on whether to approve the slate in its entirety by a
simple majority yes-or-no vote. If the slate is rejected, the NC will
submit another slate for approval in the same manner. This process will
continue until a slate of committee members has been approved.

The committee will choose a chairperson from among themselves. They
will meet on a private, unarchived mailing list. They will also be
subscribed to a second list, which will be opened up so that any member
who wishes to subscribe can make suggestions to the committee and so
that the committee can discuss ideas for the grievance procedures with
the membership.

The committee will submit a complete set of proposed grievance
procedures no later than six weeks after being seated. The Advisory
Board will vote on whether to adopt the procedures in their entirety by
a yes-or-no vote, with a 2/3 majority required for passage.

Thanks all

Don Kelly
