Subject: [STATE-COORD] Revised CC Guidelines If you give up
If You Give Up Your County:
(Top) Should you ever decide to give up your county you should notify your
State Coordinator.
It is common practice within the Project for a county coordinator to pass
on
their county site to a new county coordinator or, if there is not yet a
new
county coordinator, to the State Coordinator to be held until a new county
coordinator can be found. If your county site is located on Rootsweb, it
will be necessary for you to notify Rootsweb that you are transferring
your
county to someone else. If your site is located on a server other than
Rootsweb, please follow the requirements of that server to transfer your
site.

The Rootsweb information should be removed and placed on the help page.
Suggested wording on the help page
If your site is hosted by Rootsweb and you decide to relinquish the
Rootsweb
space you will need to contact Rootsweb to facilitate the change of the
space.
[margie]
The following statement should be removed it is only partially correct
and
totally misleading. Many people leave this project and keep their sites
and
they have the right to do so. It also leads one to think that a site on
an
independent ISP could be transferred when it cannot. We have a large range
of where sites are hosted. Roadrunner, Comcast and other ISP's allow
space
for their subscribers and those sites cannot be transferred.
The web space belongs to the volunteer and all they have to do is remove
the
logos when they quit this project.
The statement also gives the impression that a volunteer can independently
select who will replace them when actually the state SC or guidelines
would
dictate what happens when a volunteer quits.
The statement is misleading and in my opinion should be removed.

Each SC knows what their state requirements are and would facilitate the
change within the bylaws and their state guidelines.

I revised the CC Guidelines to include many of your suggestions.
There is one item that ended up in the wrong place. I've sent
Julie a corrected copy and it may be on-line by the time you
receive this. But, just in case it isn't - "Website Copyright"
should be under Recommendations and not Requirements.
Several people suggested removing all mention of Rootsweb. I left
the information on Rootsweb in (although I made some changes and
moved it) because many of the questions I received had to do with
Rootsweb and the majority of the Project's sites are on Rootsweb.
Thanks to everyone who made suggestions.
Revised CC Guidelines are up:

Please feel free to forward.
