Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Hi Cathy, Deborah and everyone... You guys are doing well
here. What I was hoping to place before you, is the fact
that we the CCs are this project... Darrel nor I or anyone
else wants to be a dictator and start just enforcing rules
as if we were police, Judge and Jury all in one. So to help
with the gray areas as well as the possibility of changing
some of the requirements, we would like to see some sort of
Grievance procedure set up that would allow for our peers to
help make a decision in anything that comes up in the
future.
On Cathy's idea of the new CCs page. Can we have a couple
of Volunteers to go to the old page and bring something from
it along with Cathy's ideas into a new page. Maybe add a
sheet to sign and mail to SC to the site? Barbara Lavin can
you help with that? Bring something back next month for the
Board?
BTW... It would help to have a really veteran CC and a newer
CC as well as someone who is worried about "new" rules on
this little committee.
Darrel... any ideas?

Establish a webpage that provides information/guidelines for new
volunteers. They must agree to everything on the page in order to become a
CC. This could be one of the "rules" or procedures: Whenever possible,
CCs should notify the SC of anticipated extended absences from updating
and/or monitoring their sites, including the timely answering of email.
(But in plain English!)
The monthly "Roll Calls" by the SC must be answered by the CC. If the CC
fails to answer the monthly roll calls, and the SC cannot get in touch with
the CC after a certain amount of time, the county may be placed up for
adoption. If the page is adopted, and the former CC returns after an
extended absence (with or without a good explanation), he or she will know
that a procedure was in place and was followed for the good of the Project.
The former CC may re-adopt the county if it is currently up for adoption.
You can even get a Roll Call volunteer who will send out an email to every
CC on the first of the month, and then report back to the SC as to which
CCs did not respond.
Perhaps there could be a "Foster" County Coordinator who takes care of
posting queries and answering emails in the interim period, with the
understanding that once a suitable CC is found, the site will be turned
over to the new CC.
>>Hypothetical Situation #2...
>>Melon County CC refuses to post queries and does not have
>>logos on the main page. What should happen? Where does
>>complaint go? Should you care?
This is covered under USGenWeb Project Guidelines for volunteers,
http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/countypage.html. The FLGenWeb Project
must follow National Guidelines. CCs should be encouraged to review this
page periodically as things may change.
If, however, the CC becomes belligerent and removes logos and/or queries
from the site after it has been linked to, the SC should give the CC a
stated period of time (perhaps 2-3 weeks) to get the site back up to
standard. If the CC does not, put the county up for adoption. Plain and
simple.
This may already be in place, but if not, it is a good idea: when a new
county goes online, or a new CC takes over, the main state page will not
link to the new county until it is reviewed by the SC or a person appointed
to do so. The reviewer will check for required content and logos, and the
page will not "officially" be linked until everything is up to par.
>>Hypothetical Situation #3...
>>Old Hammock County CC uses the site to promote a commercial
>>enterprise. What happens? Discussion? Mediation?
>>Dismissal? SC decides? What if it looked worse than it
>>was?
I didn't see anything in the USGenWeb Project Guidelines that specifically
addresses this, although it has been an implicit rule from the beginning,
perhaps dating back to the self-imposed ban on commercialism on the
Internet that existed up until a few years ago.
The focus of the site should be on the genealogy of the county, not how to
buy books or computer searches from a publisher or organization. This
would be screened at the time of the county's adoption. You'd have to put
something in the rules for new volunteers, if that's what we're going to
have, stating just how much commercialism is acceptable, perhaps leaving
final discretion up to the SC. I believe Rootsweb may have its own
statement regarding this.
I wrote a lot of words for what should be relatively simple:
*** Establish a state guidelines page for new volunteers. They must agree
to it. Their pages will be reviewed before being linked to the state
project. If there is a problem with their performance or with their
website in the future, outline steps/actions that will be taken.
For present CCs...any ideas? It doesn't seem fair to lay down "new" rules
for the incumbents...but most of it is common sense that just wasn't
explicitly spelled out before. Try to get as many CCs as possible to agree
to the rules, via individual emails to the SC?
Long post, I know. These are my thoughts.

Thought about problems 2 and 3. THe genweb charter clearly state post
queries. if the person doesn't want to post by hand use and automated
system. If they still don't want to deal with queries but are willing to
work with an asst. offer them that opportuntiy, if refusal still continues
drop them.
number 3. mentioning books available from the local gen soc. is one thing
but promoting a bussines is another. I believe that the GenWeb by laws
state no commercial advertising on the sites. Gen web is non commercial and
doesn't support specific enterprises. Wasn't that one of the reasons for
the split with the company here in Idaho that and copyright infringement?
Again it may be a misunderstanding of commercial and discussion should occur
if no agreement can be reached a mediator/arbitration board would make the
call. if it is a commercial site and the cc refuses to remove it from the
site, then drop the CC and the new one gets to build a site.
Being a rather linear thinker and slightly process oriented (think the
engineering gene has something to do with it) I tend to take a harder
stance on some things than others. I feel that when I join an organization
and know the minimum requirements that I am obligated to abide by the
requirements. If after living with them I find the requirements not
satisfactory, change them from within the system, If the requirements don't
change and I can't accept them, I am out the door. I don't believe in
stabbing an organization in the back while still being part of them,
However an occassional Palace coup is good for the soul, but only when
needed.

I'll take a shot at the first one. I was offered a county in another state,
the current cc was complaining that there was not enough time in the day.
Made lots of noise about wanting out. I said I'd take the county if she
really wanted to give it up. The SC made arrangements for me to take the
county. The current CC then decided retirement really wasn't what was
intended. I let it go.
I was then offered another county in the same state took that one, Have the
page up an running lots of new hits and people beginning to contribute. The
old cc cried foul about losing the site. The Asst SC and the State regional
CC said too bad. The former CC had changed addy's without notifying anyone
and did not have the page up and running within 6 months. The rules were
known to the CC that you need to contact the SC, ASST SC or State Regional
CC monthly and have the page up and running within a month, even if under
construction, at least a prescence on the web. The state couldn't contact
the CC and assumed lack of interest and not able to follow. No grievance
proceedure, It would have helped ease hurt feelings because now the former
CC is bad mouthing to other the genweb management of that state which is
unfortunate. The CC may not have realized the addy change slipped through
the cracks.
However 6 months and no site is stretching things a bit. The former CC
could have become an asst cc and still participated but not had the total
responsiblity to maintain the site.

Hypothetical Situation #1...
Yellow Fever County CC seems to fall off the face of the
Earth. They have not emailed or called in with a problem.
The site is not being updated. The SC finds a replacement
CC. The original CC comes back and explains problem. Who
decides what should happen? Is there an appeal to the
decision?
Hypothetical Situation #2...
Melon County CC refuses to post queries and does not have
logos on the main page. What should happen? Where does
complaint go? Should you care?
Hypothetical Situation #3...
Old Hammock County CC uses the site to promote a commercial
enterprise. What happens? Discussion? Mediation?
Dismissal? SC decides? What if it looked worse than it
was?
Do we need an established way to deal with such things
fairly?
JIm
I think all the kids are in bed asleep. Feels like Christmas eve about a
month late. If we can work on them and have them finished by the end of
February, I will be part of a committee to work on them.
March is about the beginnig of prep for field season and my travel and work
schedule gets rather erratic so I become unavailable from March until
October or November when snow starts flying and sticking up in the
mountains. Ah the joys of being a project engineer on a National Forest.

that can be tweaked over time easier than the Bylaws. The

Don't everybody talk at once. Anybody have anything to say
about anything pertaining to FLGenWeb or USGenWeb. If so
email me privately and we will see if we can discuss it
now. Seems like the waste of a good list at the moment.
Assistant State Coordinator FLGenWeb
Hello fellow FLGenWeb Volunteers. Please read the following
and if you have the inclination, join us. (This will appear
on both FLGEN lists)
Thanks for being part of FLGenWeb,
Jim
Attention USGenWeb SC's, CC's, and all Volunteers:
This is official notification of a new USGW Committee:
Like you, we are County Coordinators involved with the
USGenWeb Project, we support free online genealogical
information to assist all researchers in gaining their
family origins. We are a small group not currently
sanctioned
by the USGW Board. Our goal is to improve the current
By-Laws which will provide new and improved leadership
guidelines. As many of you know, we have recently lost two
National Coordinators and four Board representatives which
we believe is due in part to the lack of workable By-Laws.
We need and desire your help, opinions, and comments to help
us fine tune the By-Laws.
We believe leadership of this project should come from the
majority of the membership, the SC's, CC's and Volunteers
who
conduct the business of this project daily. We believe to
continue to grow in an effective, progressive manner the
majority must govern, and that majority is you!
To accomplish our goal we need sponsorship of several states
and much support from everyone involved with this project.
We have provided a bulletin board site for you to post your
suggestions concerning the By-Laws. You will find examples
of our work on the By-Laws at this site also.
http://mtnia.com/mmhill/discuss.htm
You will find a copy of the current By-Laws on the following
USGW site: http://www.usgenweb.org/official/bylaws.html
If any of you would like to join this committee, please
contact the following e-mail. We intend to keep this
committee small, diversified, and composed primarily of
CC's. mmhill(a)dwp.net
We hope all members of the USGenWeb Project will join us in
this endeavor. All who have worked so diligently on this
project
in the past and will continue in the future deserve a
democratic
and efficient working environment.
With great sincerity,
Roger Swafford CC Chair
Norma Lewis CC ViceChair
Margot Hill CC Secretary
David W. Samuelson CC Recorder
Jim Powell,Jr. CC
Debbie Axtman CC
Diane Kelly CC
Alice J. Gayley CC
Annette Womack CC
Clare Morgan CC
Barb Lavin CC
Melissa Simmons CC
I think a board/committee to present a best draft from our previous comments
would be a good idea. I believe I am correct that the general populace of
CC's think that some sort of bylaws are needed and the ones we are using
need tweeking.
I have been off line with a harddrive crash so I don't know what happened
about the greivance proceedures. They should be included in the bylaws and
not a separate item.
At least those are my comments.

Hi all... It is lonely in here.
Grievance Procedure...
This is my idea from before (only an idea)
You may also start the discussion on a Grievance Procedure.
I would suggest that we use a committee made up of one Board
Member, 2 FLGenWeb volunteers picked by the "Accused" and 2
FLGenWeb volunteers picked by the "Complainant". If the
"Complainant" is FLGenWeb as the complaint is made by the
SC, then the SC would choose the 2 volunteers for the
"Complainant". The Board Member would chair the
proceedings. The Committee could meet on private email and
then announce a decision to the FLGEN-L list. Any complaint
would have to be based on the Bylaws (future) or the
existing rules(guidelines) from the existing FLGenWeb site
(until Bylaws are approved).
Do we want to appoint a Committee to work on this and ask
them to have something ready for our next meeting?
Any Volunteers? (You don't have to be a board member to be
considered for this committee)

Good Morning Fellow Volunteers... I am looking for a little
discussion on a possible Grievance Procedure. Maybe we
should form a committee to look at this. Don't you want to
be prepared just in case? Darrel would not want problems
dropped on him without at least some guidelines to follow.
Next... After serving for quite awhile now on other Bylaws
Committees... I propose we streamline ours.
Comments, suggestions, Ideas? .... Come on now try and make
me wish I hadn't asked.
