It is sad when politics takes over a volunteer organization. I say we all
shut up and get back to Genealogy.
Vicki - Please forward that comment to "our leaders". I might add that I
did do some "lookups" and it seems that this Teresa Lindquist was elected to
her post. That tells me that she has the right to represent her folks until
her folks ask that she be replaced. As far as I saw, it is only the "board"
that wants her out. But, this all gets back to "Shut up and do genealogy
not politics!"

From the Advisory Board of the USGenWeb Project
To Teresa Lindquist:
The Advisory Board of the USGenWeb Project has voted to declare you a
member not in good standing. This action has been taken due to your
disregard for the responsibilities associated with being an Advisory
Board Member.
To wit: You have exhibited total disregard and disrespect for the
responsibilities of your office as evidenced by your public posting of
executive session correspondence; thus, betraying the trust of fellow
board members and all members of the Project who have brought concerns
and grievances forward.
Having been found "not in good standing", you will not have access to
Board-Exec; not be eligible to serve on committees; and your posts to
Board-L will be moderated.
Should you choose to appeal this decision, you may offer your reasons
and an explanation for your actions to the National Coordinator.
(Signed)
Holly Timm, National Coordinator, USGenWeb Project
Members in favor:
Tina Vickery, Jana Black, Richard Harrison, Kathy Heidel,
Phyllis Rippee, Ron Eason, Betsy Mills, Vicki Shaffer,
Pam Reid, Ginger Hayes, Tim Stowell, Mary Ann Hetrick
Members opposed:
