Since the two conflicting proposed AB adjustment amendments cover the
same issue, if both pass, the one with the higher vote should take
precedence over the one with the lower vote. It would seem logical
that the AB would put a statement to that effect on the ballot so that
the voters would understand the situation up front.

Subject: Re: [NVGEN, Nevada Genealogy List] Proposed Amendment
Both proposed amendments have their advantages and disadvantages
from my
perspective.
My question is what happens if both Don's and Joy's proposed bylaw
amendments attain the required state sponsorship? It's hard for me
to
imagine the national election being set up so that one would have to
choose between them--or is that a possibility. If both would pass,
which would take effect? Anyone have a theory?

Subject: [NVGEN, Nevada Genealogy List] Proposed Amendment
Robert:
Let's submit both amendments to the NV CCs. Let them decide whether
they
want to support one amendment or the other or neither.
ARTICLE V. COMPOSITION OF ADVISORY BOARD
Old:
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.
New:
The Advisory Board membership shall consist of: the National
Coordinator, twelve (12) Regional Representatives, one (1) Special
Projects Representative elected by members of the special projects,
and
two (2) At-Large Representatives. All shall have voting privileges
except the National Coordinator who shall vote only in the case of a
tie. The regions from which Regional Representatives are elected
shall
be decided by the Advisory Board on an annual basis.
Implementation: All AB members elected during the election where
this
amendment is enacted will serve out their terms. The four State
Coordinator Representative positions will become Regional
Representative
positions either upon expiration of their term or should the seat be
declared vacant.
ARTICLE VI: DUTIES/QUALIFICATIONS OF ADVISORY BOARD
Old:
Section 9. Nominees for National Coordinator shall have the
following
qualifications: at least one year (the twelve months immediately
preceding an election) of continuous service and current activity as
a
member in good standing, and eligibility to vote within The USGenWeb
Project. Qualifications of nominees for State Coordinator
Representative, Local Coordinator Representative, and Special
Project
Representative are the same with the addition that their service
shall
have been as a State Coordinator, Local Coordinator, or one of the
various positions associated with the Special Projects,
respectively.
"In good standing" is demonstrated by responding promptly to email,
actively supporting researchers' efforts to find information,
maintaining their website with appropriate, up-to-date content, and
serving as a good example of the guidelines and standards of The
USGenWeb Project.

ARTICLE VIII. ADVISORY BOARD PROCEDURES
Section 1. Nine (9) voting members of the Advisory Board shall
constitute a quorum.
New:
Section 1. A majority of voting members plus one, of the Advisory
Board
shall constitute a quorum. The number of voting members shall be
defined
as the total number of members (excluding the National Coordinator)
minus the number of vacant seats, if any. Example: 14 total Advisory
Board members, one vacancy, means 13 voting members. A majority is 7
members, therefore a quorum is 8 members.
