Subject: Re: [BY-LAWS] Article 4, VOTE
Good suggestions, Vivian. Do we need another motion then? If so...
I
move
to accept Article 4, with Vivian's amendments, as follows:
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 County Coordinator (CC) or
Special
Project Coordinator (SP) 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
(ASC) 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 and other related
duties.
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 within each region to
provide
guidance and support to the CCs in that region. 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.
