Good evening, all.
Having received no response from my email of yesterday asking about the
discussion board, nor the one from late this afternoon (and I admit it
wasn't that long ago), I am making an executive decision regarding the
committee discussions.
We will have all of our discussions on this mailing list. It is available
for all CCs to read in the RootsWeb archives at
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/GAGENWEB/. There are some advantages
to having our discussions on the discussion board, but I think it might be
too easy to miss something since there is not a nudge to us when something
is posted. And I certainly don't want anything to get lost by us using both
places simultaneously.
Please use good subject lines and only quote pertinent portions of messages
that you are responding to.
The area of the discussion board that is open for CCs to post will still be
available for them to do so -- and we shall continue to encourage their
participation. It's only been available since the middle of yesterday
afternoon, and I have registered 8 or 9 people already. The last time I
looked though, only one had posted any suggestions for us.
My main reason for wanting the discussion board was to ease the secretarial
duties of reporting suggestions and comments from CCs. The secretary to the
GRC worked way too hard :-). And of course, you may also post to the CC
area of the discussion board -- after all, you are all CCs as well.
I plan to post an update on GAGEN to the CCs every week, more often when
necessary.
Thanks for your cooperation.
