I agree with Barbara's suggestion of 4 months. Six months would be too
long, but with less than 4 months in a term, it wouldn't be fair for the EC
to have to conduct two elections in such a short time frame.
Thanks, Jeanne, for updating the Article, copied below. Any futher tweaks?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
