Hi Members... As of 11 pm this list is once again open to
all members for discussion. I am interested in the thoughts
of those who are listening.
I have a dilemma here. I am at odds with myself. I very
much want this to be a bottom up organization of individual
volunteers. But I also want to have some sort of structure
to insure that we continue to exist as close to the way we
have in the past as we can. I have done a few things during
this meeting, that to some, might seem heavy handed. At
times they have seemed that way to me. In the absence of
discussion and new ideas, I have temporarily instituted the
Proposed Rules of Procedure listed at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~flgenweb/flgwabrop.htm . Please
check them out and see if you think we can work with them.
I thought this was something that needed to be done to get
things rolling, but it was something that I did not do
lightly. I did ask the board for objections, but it was
late in the evening. Now it is past 11 and I have not heard
any objections. Now I am asking the members (Board Members
included) if they have any objections. If so let me know
and we will find a way to work things out.
I am just a CC that happens to chair our Advisory Board. I
have the same feelings about my pages that you have about
yours and I respect your rights to be different while
following simple guidelines. Help me to put this into
Bylaws that will insure we are allowed to continue to feel
and be that way and still be members of FLGenWeb and
USGenWeb.
To sum all of this up, I believe I have the ability to lead
our Advisory Board, but I also know how to follow. If you
don't believe I am the type of leader we need for the
Advisory Board, let me know and I will gladly follow anyone
who is willing to lead us.
Thanks for being part of FLGenWeb,
Jim
