One unsubscribed Maggie Olson from this list, without even notifying
her! As
it turned out it was the ASC who didn't understand RootsWeb policy, not
Maggie, Maggie was re-subscribed and got no apology from the ASC.
Another ASC delinked two counties and put them up for adoption, without even
notifying the CC's! It turned out to be a misunderstanding, and at least this
ASC apologized.
OK, so people made mistakes. The same people rectified those mistakes. Do
you plan to beat them about the head and shoulders with it forever?
Those two actions by ASC's don't sound to me like
"advisory capacity only." If the proof is in the pudding...what sort of other
"advisory capacity only" actions against CC'c by the 'leadership'
can we
expect to happen in the future?
You misread the plan. Section 4 reads: "BOARD The Board shall consist
of the positions of Assistant State Coordinator and the Personnel
Coordinator. They shall operate in an advisory position and shall not
enjoy voting or administration powers."
This section has nothing to do with the division of labor addressed in
section 5.

ARTICLE XII. STATE PROJECTS Section 1. ..."each state shall have an Assistant
State Coordinator or other support team in place that can take charge IN CASE
THE STATE COORDINATOR BECOMES UNAVAILABLE FOR A PERION OF 30 DAYS...." The
caps are mine. I don't want to bother searching the archives to read the
discussion of this bylaw, but I'd guess the reason it's stated as such, is so
SC's can't appoint ASC's to do the duties that the CC's voted the SC to
do...otherwise, I'm sure some states would have "coordinators" the CC's
didn't
vote for.
ASC's assisting in the division of labor does not violate the USGW by-laws,
by simple virtue of the fact that such a division of labor is not addressed
in those by-laws. Like any constitution, by-laws address things that MUST
be done, and things that MUST NOT be done. Any matter not specifically
addressed as mandatory becomes, by default, optional.
The by-laws do not require that the support team sit around on their thumbs
and wait for him to have a stroke before they do anything to help. There
are only two requirements -- (1) that a support team must be in place, and
(2) that the support team take charge in case the state coordinator becomes
unavailable for a period of 30 days. Both of these requirements have been met.
