Subject: [BOARD] Motion 07-17 - Proposed Amendment To Bylaws On Copyright
Policy


| It has been moved by Larry and seconded by Greta that the Advisory Board
consider an urgent proposed amendment to the Project Bylaws relative to the
Copyright policy. The motion is numbered 07-17 and is now open for
discussion.
|
| Whereas a bylaw amendment proposal has been submitted to the AB described
as an urgent matter affecting the well-being of the Project, and
|
| Whereas the USGenWeb bylaws provide that the AB shall propose urgent
amendments,
|
| I move that the following bylaw amendment proposal be considered as to its

urgency by vote of the AB. Should the outcome of the vote determine that the

proposal is urgent, I further move that the proposal be presented to the
membership as an urgent amendment.
|
| Should the outcome of the vote determine that the proposal does not meet
the standards of an urgent amendment, I further move that the originator of
the proposal be thanked for his contribution in submitting the proposal.
|
| PROPOSAL:
|
| Under the Provisions of the USGenWeb Bylaws, Article XVI. "AMENDMENT TO
BYLAWS", Section 5, I submit to the USGenWeb Project Advisory Board, and
the National Coordinator, that the following section of the USGenWeb
Project Bylaws, be urgently amended as follows:
|
| That the current Article X which currently reads:
|
| "ARTICLE X. COPYRIGHT
|
| Section 1. In The USGenWeb Project, copyright of websites resides solely
with the creator of the web page(s). Their inclusion as part of The
USGenWeb Project does not give any irrevocable right, implied or otherwise,
to The USGenWeb Project to permanently use the material.
|
| Section 2. In The USGenWeb Project, copyright to queries and any other
data submitted to any state or local websites resides with the submitter.
The submission of queries and other data to The USGenWeb Project implies
that The USGenWeb Project may continue to post the material until/if such
time the submitter requests removal.
|
| Section 3. In The USGenWeb Project, copyright to data contributed to any
special projects resides with the contributor, who agrees that The USGenWeb
Project, as a not-for-profit group, has permanent use of the data. The
permanent use agreement is conditional upon the non-profit nature of The
USGenWeb Project and will become null and void if The USGenWeb Project
should ever cease to be non-profit.
|
| Section 4. All members of The USGenWeb Project shall be responsible for
adhering to The USGenWeb Project's Official Copyright Policy which may be
found, along with further information about copyright, at The USGenWeb
Project national website,
http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/copyright.html.";
|
| Be amended to read:
|
| "ARTICLE X. COPYRIGHT
|
| Adherence to Title 17, US Code, The United States Copyright Law [Link
to:http://www.copyright.gov/], is the responsibility of each member website
Coordinator, and the Site Coordinator has the responsibility to assure that
submitted materials for publication on any USGenWeb member site are in
compliance."
