Our pledge fund drive for the trade mark filing will end on Feb
1. Please be sure and let your CCs know about the pledge drive so
that everyone has a chance to participate. Attached is my
previous message on this subject.

---------------------
Fellow volunteers,
The USGenWeb Advisory Board is working on the application for registration
of our name (USGenWeb) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). To
properly accomplish this, we must hire an attorney to review the paperwork
and advise us as to proper procedures. The application fee is $325 but the
real cost will be the attorney fee. With attorney fees running upwards of
$75 per hour we are uncertain of the total amount needed for the filing. We
already have pledges from 60 members amounting to $2067, probably more than
enough to accomplish this very important task. But the Board feels that
everyone should be given the opportunity to participate in funding this
effort, and I agree.
It is my sincere wish that we could join together and, ideally, that each
member would pledge $1.00 toward this very important goal. This would be a
wonderful way to bring all into full participation in protecting our name
through PTO registration.
When we are certain of the total cost and the total number of persons
making pledges, we will call in pledges based on the maximum amount needed
per person, but in no case exceeding the amount of anyone's pledge. For
example, if $18 per person should be necessary to cover all costs, those
who pledged less than $18 will be asked to contribute their pledge amount
and those who pledged more than $18 will be asked to contribute only $18.
If you would like to join in this effort, please send an e-mail by February
1 to Joe Zsedeny, jzsed(a)westelcom.com, with a cc (carbon copy) to John
Schunk, jschunk(a)skpub.com, with (1) the amount of your pledge (any amount
from $1 on up) and (2) a yes or no as to whether it is OK to add your name
as a pledge drive participant at
http://home.kscable.com/jschunk/pledge.html).
We would like to allow everyone who wants to participate to do so. Won't
you join in this very important endeavor?
