The following is a Bylaw amendment that is looking to be added to the
election this summer. The state of WV has sponsored it and it will
need a 5 state sponsorship to be added to the ballot. There is quite
a bit of discussion taking place on the state coordinator list. If
our CCs feel they would like to sponsor this amendment we would need
to weigh in on the matter and decide as a whole to add MTGenWeb to the
sponsorship. We are in no means under obligation to do so, I am
merely presenting the opportunity if you all would wish to do so.
Thanks much,
Karen

As per Article XVI. B of the USGenWeb Project bylaws, the WVGenWeb Project,
with the support of the majority of the WVGenWeb CCs, sponsors the following
amendment to the USGenWeb Bylaws:
Currently ARTICLE IX. A. reads:

counts as one) of the proposed change.
You will find the proposed amendment at

WVGenWeb in co-sponsoring this amendment, please notify your regional AB

state listed as co-sponsor.
