About Vivian's question about timing for election of someone to
fill a
term - I think the ASC could finish out a term with only a few months left.
Maybe about 4 months would be a good cut-off. Six months seems too long to
me.
I think 4 months sounds like a good time frame, Barbara. How does this
sound...? (See paragraph 3)
Article 4: Officers and Support Team
An election for State Coordinator (SC) will be held coinciding with the
USGenWeb
national elections. The term shall be for two years. Any member of The
GAGenWeb
Project who has been a CC or SPC in The GAGenWeb Project for at least one
year,
and is willing to act as State Coordinator as outlined in the Bylaws of The
USGenWeb Project and The GAGenWeb Project, is eligible to run for State
Coordinator.
After the election, the SC shall appoint an Assistant State Coordinator
whose
term shall run concurrently with the SC. The SC may also appoint additional
technical assistants as outlined in the Policies & Procedures (P&P) to
assist
with the state website. If such assistants are appointed, their terms shall
also
run concurrently with the SC.
If the SC should leave the project for any reason during his or her term of
office, the ASC will act as the SC until a new SC can be elected to complete
the term. If less than 4 months remain of the SC's term of office, the ASC
will act as the SC for the remainder of the term.
Regional Assistants will be elected by the CCs to provide support and
guidance
to the CCs in their regions. Regional Assistants, together with any
technical
assistants appointed by the SC, shall be known collectively as the GAGenWeb
Support Team. Members of the Support Team will have no governing power, but
shall have responsibilities as outlined in the P&P.
