-- Please forward to All USGenWeb Project Lists --
It has come to the Advisory Board's attention that there
are some issues, that we feel need to be addressed
Project-wide.
It is our very strong desire that volunteers, who have
maintained sites hosted by RootsWeb but who have chosen
new hosts be gracious and polite to RootsWeb.
If you choose to leave RootsWeb now, please remember that
it has been gracious to and supportive of the USGenWeb
Project. The Advisory Board strongly objects to any of our
members leaving rude or inflammatory messages on vacated
sites.
The Bylaws for USGenWeb state that volunteers have the
right to choose the server on which their pages are
placed. State Coordinators do not have the right to
threaten delinking or any other penalty if their
volunteers stay with or leave RootsWeb or any other
server.
