Subject: [Gc-confidential] Call for Volunteers to Serve on the Grievance
Committee
The USGenWeb Grievance Committee is looking for a few good people to replace
those members whose terms have expired. If you have some experience in the
area of Mediation or Arbitration, and are willing to devote 2 years to
helping the USGenWeb working as a part of the Grievance Committee please
contact John Quigley, present Chair of the committee, at
jquigley(a)txkinneygen.org. This is not a call for Mediators or Arbitrators,
but rather a call for those who would sit on the Grievance Committee itself,
guiding the processes that grievances go through, training those persons who
would serve as Mediators or Arbitrators.
Please give a brief synopsis of the reasons why you feel you would be able
to serve in this capacity. Please review the requirements for serving on the
committee listed below:
Quote (from Section XIV of the USGenWeb Project bylaws at
http://usgenweb.org/volunteers/bylaws.shtml and Section V of the Standard
Rules at
http://usgenweb.org/volunteers/standard-rules.shtml)
Qualifications:
Volunteers for the Grievance Committee will be required to meet certain
minimum requirements for service.
Volunteers must have a minimum of one year's continuous service as a Member
in Good Standing of either a State Project or a recognized Special Project
of the USGenWeb Project.
Because grievances are considered personnel matters, all volunteers must
state that they are willing to abide by strict confidentiality requirements.
Volunteers must also state that they understand that violation of this
confidentiality agreement will mean immediate expulsion from the Grievance
Committee, and could result in determination of Member Not in Good Standing
by the Advisory Board.
Committee Membership:
The Grievance Committee shall consist of seven members of The USGenWeb
Project in good standing. The panel must include a State Coordinator and a
member of the Special projects and three County Coordinators/Local
Coordinators who have not served as State Coordinator or in a national level
position within the last three years. The National Coordinator is an ex
officio member of the Grievance Committee and is not eligible for assignment
as the committee member overseeing an accepted grievance. In the event that
a member of the Grievance Committee is one of the parties involved in the
dispute or has a personal interest in the dispute, that Committee Member
shall retire from involvement with any aspect of that grievance.
In the event that a Grievance Committee member changes positions in the
USGenWeb Project during their term, they may remain as a representative of
the position for which they were appointed until the end of their term. This
does not apply in the case of the committee member's election to the
USGenWeb Advisory Board, at which time they would be required to resign and
a new representative appointed after a call for volunteers from within the
project to fill the seat.
