Hi Board and Volunteers... I have this dream that we can be
the best of all the XXGenWebs. There are a lot of hard
working Volunteers in our Project. I do however see
potential pitfalls that could derail our efforts or cripple
our efforts. I have been attempting to create an
environment where each CC will know that they have a
powerful role in the future of this project. Neither Darrel
nor I want to create rules or enforce them like a Dictator.
We are depending on you all to step up and work together for
a better project.
Some things I feel strongly we need to work on...
Grievance Procedure
New CCs Page... Darrel has started on this (anyone
interested contact Darrel)
FLGenWeb Bylaws
Complaint / Comment link for County pages?
Discuss possible support of Unofficial USGW Bylaws Committee
Now after saying all of that I believe that if a CC just
wants do their page and be left alone, provided they follow
the minimum guidelines, we should respect that decision. On
the other hand, if you have a few moments and would like to
attempt to ensure your and your fellow Volunteers future
happiness, please jump in and help out. At least let us
know how you feel. We hope we are all big enough to listen
to each other without being judgmental. According to the
Rules of Procedure anyone that becomes "personal" on this
list will be unsubbed. Let's discuss issues.
BTW.... This are the things that I am presently up to. I am
on that Unofficial USGW Bylaws Committee. I have been
fairly active there. I do 2 County Web Sites... One in Fl
and One in KY. I am on the KYGenWeb Bylaws Committee... I
read all of the posts but don't make too many comments
there... I do let them know that I am paying attention and
that what they have done so far meets my approval. I take
care of the Surname / Migration Page, (do you know how many
people can't read?). I help Darrel maintain the State
pages. I am campaigning for USGW SE/MA Region CC
Representative, (Please Vote, Even if you don't support
me... The election has been postponed... Software Problem...
They are working on it) I am transcribing Old Records from
the Alachua County Official Records Office (I try to do at
least one a day). I work 40 hours a week, (well I'm in
construction, some weeks are more, some less, a lot of less
lately) I take my youngest daughter to school before I go to
work and often pick her up on the way home.
This month's meeting seems to be a bust... Is it my
leadership?
Thanks for listening,
Jim
