Motion 2008/09-02: Website maintenance/Website host issues
Presented by Mike St. Clair and seconded by Larry Flesher, 'Website
maintenance/Website host issues' dated September 24, 2008, is numbered
Motion 2008/09-02.
Motion reads:
"I move that we proceed with the following three step process in addressing
the website maintenance/website hosting issues that we have been discussing
on the Chat list.
1 - Create a temporary and informal study group (called the Webmaster Study
Group) of a few volunteers from the AB (to be approved by the AB in a
separate action) to create a proposed national webmaster position
description and to recommend what the reporting relationships should be for
this person. This group shall bring their proposal to the full AB three
weeks from the time the group is selected and approved by the AB. The AB
shall then decide to endorse or to modify the Webmaster Study Group's
proposals and shall then make the required changes in our standing
procedures. Inherent in this shall be asking our current Webmaster to
continue for the time being.
The Webmaster Study Group shall ask for input from other interested AB or
project members, and shall also specifically ask the NC and current
Webmaster for input.
2 - As soon as the position description and associated reporting
relationships are approved from step 1, a call shall be issued for members
who are interested in serving as part of the Webmaster team. The wording for
this call shall be determined at that time. The AB shall then decide to
either continue the service of the current webmaster (if interested) or to
select a new one from the applicants and shall decide whether to select an
assistant from the same group.
3 - As soon as the Webmaster team is in place from step 2 the same AB study
group or another such set of volunteers (to be decided at that time) shall
be created called the Hosting Study Group and charged to do research on
potential web hosting providers. They shall bring the results of their
research and specific recommendations to the AB six weeks from the date they
are seated. The AB shall then make a decision on whether we should stay
with our current hosting arrangement or move to another web hosting supplier
and if choosing to move, on what schedule.
