The following motion made by Jeff and seconded by Karen is
numbered 06-10 and is now open for discussion. If you have no
discussion please signify by responding "No Discussion"

I move that the Advisory Board accept the report of the Fraud
Committee as modified in the discussion on AB-chat list:

Procedures for Fraudulent Registrations

It is the policy of the USGenWeb Project that a member, where
duly qualified, may cast only one vote per office, or per
question in polls.

In the event a member registers to vote more than one time the
procedures as outlined in the Election Committee guidelines
will be followed.

In the event the EC, per its current guidelines, reports a
possible case of Fraudulent Registrations to the NC/AB the
following steps will be taken:

(1) The NC/AB member will forward a copy of the report to
Exec.

(2) The NC will assign a sequential number to the report,
notify the SC(s), ASC(s), SP(s) and individual(s) named in the
report that such a report has been received.

(3) The NC will seek a volunteer from the AB to lead the
investigation. If there are no volunteers the NC will lead the
investigation. All parties involved will be given the
opportunity to provide input. All documentation will be collected
by the leader only. The AB may use the services of the Technical
Advisor (see below) in the investigation.

(4) The person(s) being investigated will be accorded the benefit
of doubt if reasonable explanations are proffered, and they will
be given the opportunity for review and comment at each point of
the investigation.

(5) Based on discussion of the findings the AB shall determine
by vote whether or not to remove the individual(s) from the
Registered Voter List and whether any additional action should be
undertaken.

(6) The NC shall advise, via e-mail, the parties involved of
the Advisory Board's determination with a cc to Exec.

In the event a possible case of Fraudulent Registrations or
suspected case of aliases is reported to the NC or AB member by
an individual the following steps will be taken:

(1) The AB member receiving notification of a possible
fraudulent registrations situation and/or suspected case of
aliases will ask the notifying individual if he/she will agree to
the disclosure of his/her name. If so the AB member will forward
the e-mail to the NC and Exec. If not the AB member will remove
all identification of the sender from the e-mail and forward the
e-mail to the Exec and forward a full copy of the e-mail to the
NC.

(2) The NC shall notify the EC of the situation and ask the EC
to check its files for possible multiple voter registrations and
for any information the EC may have that has a bearing on the
reported situation.

(3) Items 2 through 6 above will be followed

(4) The person(s) being investigated will be
given the opportunity for review and comment at each point of the
investigation.

(5) The investigation may be referred to the Board if the
investigator
determines by evidence
that the accused is not at fault or in violation, and a report
describing those findings will be submitted for action by the
Advisory
Board. If the Advisory Board concurs with the finding, no further
action
is required, if the Advisory Board does not concur, then the
investigation continues.


************
Technical Advisor

The Advisory Board will appoint, by vote, someone to the position
of Technical Advisor.

Provider
Addressing
(TCP/IP), Routing, Electronic Mail, FTP and General Internet
Technology.

relation to grievances, registration conflicts and other
situations requiring the Advisor to agree to confidentiality.
