The USGenWeb ALL list, v2.0
I find the USGenWeb Advisory Board motion to create a "Standards And Ethics
Committee" to be unacceptable.
Surely serious disputes within the USGenWeb project must be given a high
priority. If the current Advisory Board, National Coordinator and/or State
Coordinators are unable to directly, fairly and *publicly* resolve such
disputes, then the Bylaws should be properly revised or dropped, or the
project should be disbanded.
As the Macoupin County ILGenWeb Coordinator, I refuse to accept the
authority of any "Standards And Ethics Committee," now or ever, in any way,
shape or form.
If this position leads to my expulsion from the USGenWeb project, then so
be
it. I would not wish to be a member of such a project.
I am sorry to take such a confrontational stand with a project that has
done
such wonderful work. But this motion is so completely unacceptable to
me
that it makes me wonder if I belong here at all.
Eric Adcock
Macoupin County ILGenWeb Coordinator
