*A - Committee Membership, Qualifications & Appointments. 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.
A Grievance Committee member may be temporarily removed, upon a vote of
two-thirds (2/3) of the committee, for unwillingness to serve in the
capacity for which the person was accepted, releasing information on a
grievance presently before the board and/or not answering three (3) roll
calls.
The member will be sent a letter by the Grievance Chair stating the
reason for the temporary removal. During this time the member will be
unsubscribed from the Grievance Committee mail list. The member will then
be given 72 hours in which to respond. If no answer is received then the
member will be removed without recourse. If a response is received, after
reading the reply and discussion of said, the Grievance Committee will vote
on whether or not to permanently remove the member.

minimum requirements for service.

in Good Standing of either a State Project or a recognized Special Project
of the USGenWeb Project.

(2) years prior to volunteering for the Grievance Committee nor be
currently involved in a grievance.
