Surname boards will continue to be issued on a first-come, first-served
basis. Our policy for locality specific boards has been to let a "suite" of
boards have different admins. We will continue this policy for surname
boards.
Current owners of a surname board will have until 12:01 am Sunday, December
20th, to request the remainder of the boards for their surnames if they so
choose. Until this time, if a surname has already been approved, there is
no need to return to the sponsor form to request additional boards for that
surname. You may simply return to the signup form and input your request.
The sponsor form and the signup/activation form will be taken offline at
12:01 am Sunday, December 20th, so that the GenConnect staff may go on
vacation. Both forms will be activated again on Monday, December 28th. Any
requests not processed by the shutdown time will remain in the queue and be
processed on Monday.
Beginning December 28th, *all* surname requests will be on a first come,
first served basis. To add a new board type for an already approved
surname, you'll need to visit the sponsors form. Any unauthorized requests
found in the request log will be deleted without further notice to you.
Once a board has been requested and the directory set up, admins have two
weeks to activate the board. After this time has elapsed, empty directories
will be deleted, and that surname/board type will be available to the next
requestor.
On behalf of the GenConnect staff,
Marceline Beem
Surname Board Representative
