Like someone else said I always thought we were required to have the
USGenWeb logo on out main page and a link to them. I find it hard to believe
that a person who spends the time building a website for a county with all
the logos and other requirements, would link the logo to porn site. But
then I guess I don't understand the way the world works any more.
Each year ideas, motions, requirements are brought up, and most of the time
they fail. I don't quite understand this either if everyone is interested
in the best interest of the GenWeb.
My two cents worth.
Keep the amendment short and maybe people will support it, I will.

There are a few individuals who get a kick out of tweaking fellow
project
members noses. I'm aware of half a dozen websites created by USGENWEB
members over the years who felt it was their responsibility to find what
they considered abuses within USGENWEB and make sure other folks knew about
them. A good many of these dealt with personality conflicts between
individuals with strong personalities. These websites ranged from
entertaining to almost obscene. Free speech is alive and well on the
Internet, and anyone can post just about anything they want. But as a
project, focused on trying to accomplish and promote positive things, we do
not have to allow links to these critical sites from our sites.
Whether or not this bylaw amendment passes, if such an abuse of linking
from
the USGENWEB or IDGENWEB logo occurred within IDGENWEB, I would insist it
be
removed and if not removed I would dismiss that Coordinator from membership
in our project. But I believe the amendment might be helpful within those
states where project member abuses like this have occurred.
I don't think we have had, or will have, incidents like this within the
Idaho project. But we might be able to lend a little help to other states
by sponsoring this amendment. I will only do that if a majority of you
support the idea.
