The motion made by Virginia and seconded by Jim:
"I hereby move that The USGenWeb Advisory
Board find Board members Barbara Yancey Dore, Maggie Zimmerman and Joy
Fisher, as well as Archives Project Coordinator Linda Lewis not members in
good standing in the USGenWeb Project."
Yes - 3; No - 9; Abstain - 0; Not voting - 3
Motion fails.
-------------------
Or if the votes of Maggie and Joy are removed, as Barbara did not vote:
Yes - 3; No - 7; Abstain - 0; Not voting - 3; Recused - 2
Motion fails.

VOTING ON QUESTIONS AFFECTING ONESELF
"The rule on abstaining from voting on a question of direct personal
interest does not mean that a member is prevented from voting for himself
for an office or other position to which members are generally eligible, nor
from voting when other members are included with him in a motion. If a
member could never vote on a question affecting himself, it would be
impossible
for a society to vote to hold a banquet, or for the majority to prevent a
small minority from preferring charges against them and suspending or
expelling them."
It would appear from the last line above that Maggie and Joy had every
right to vote
on this motion - therefore the previous totals would be correct, ie
including their
votes.
