John,
I am not familiar with the current proposed amendments. Truthfully, I'm
totally ambivilant regarding the political workings of USGenWeb. I do this
job because I enjoy genealogy and frankly, I don't have time to follow all
the haggling that goes on at the national level. If the bylaws change to
the point that I don't like them, I will move on to something else. So, in
short, I have no intention as state coordinator, to take any action on
these or any other amendments. If you, or any other county coordinator
would like to take the initiative and participate more actively at the
national level, I would be happy to relenquish my state title.
No, the Nevada state page was never on
iquest.com
cheers

Like most of the articles, it's pretty goofy, or at least undemocratic,
in that it doesn't address how a state project is to determine whether
it wants to sponsor an amendment. It seems to me it's up to the state
coordinator to decide whether a state project wishes to co-sponsor a
proposed amendment -- a project's wishes are to be posted to USGenWeb-
All, and that means by the state coordinator, I suppose, so whatever
she wishes to post or not to post is what the state project wishes,
whatever the opinions of the other members might be.
Spike, will you please let us know whether and what you decide to post
there about the currently proposed amendments?
Regards,

P.S. Didn't the Nevada state page used to reside on iquest.com? Did I
just miss the announcement of its move, or what? (I have a link that
needs fixing now.)
