There was a error in the original motion that was subsequently
corrected. I erroneously copied the original motion, not the corrected
version. State and Special Project Coordinators, please use the
following text when disseminating it to your staff. Thanks!
The USGenWeb Advisory Board is in receipt of the following Bylaws
Amendment Proposal, sponsored by the ARGenWeb and co-sponsored by
MSGenWeb, TXGenWeb, DEGenWeb, MIGenWeb, ORGenWeb and WIGenWeb Projects:
Current Article:
ARTICLE V. COMPOSITION OF ADVISORY BOARD
The Advisory Board membership shall consist of: the National
Coordinator,
four (4) State Coordinator Regional Representatives, eight (8) Local
Coordinator Regional Representatives, one (1) representative each from
The
USGenWeb Archives Project, The USGenWeb Census Project, and
The USGenWeb
Tombstone Project, and beginning in 1999, one (1) at-large
representative.
All shall have voting privileges except the National Coordinator who
shall
vote only in the case of a tie. The regions from which State
Coordinator
and Local Coordinator Representatives are elected shall be decided by
the
Advisory Board on an annual basis.
Strike "one (1) representative each from The USGenWeb Archives Project,
The
USGenWeb Census Project, and The USGenWeb Tombstone Project," and
replace
with "one (1) Special Projects representative elected by members of the
special projects."
The amended article will then read:
ARTICLE V. COMPOSITION OF ADVISORY BOARD
The Advisory Board membership shall consist of: the National
Coordinator,
four (4) State Coordinator Regional Representatives, eight (8) Local
Coordinator Regional Representatives, one (1) Special Projects
representative elected by members of the special projects, and one (1)
at-large representative. All shall have voting privileges except the
National Coordinator who shall vote only in the case of a tie. The
regions
from which State Coordinator and Local Coordinator Representatives are
elected shall be decided by the Advisory Board on an annual basis.
In addition, the Section 3 of Article XIII regarding Special Projects
would
need to be amended:
Current article:
ARTICLE XIII. SPECIAL PROJECTS
Section 3. The staff members of The USGenWeb Archives Project, The
USGenWeb
Census Project, and The USGenWeb Tombstone Project shall each elect one
Special Project Representative to serve as a voting member of The
USGenWeb
Project Advisory Board.
This amended section would read:
Section 3. The staff members of any special projects (as defined in
Section
1) shall elect one Special Project Representative to serve as a voting
member of The USGenWeb Project Advisory Board.
