They are discussing setting up a committee to change the rules for project
web sites from the national level. Since Teresa gave permission to forward,
I have. But she is not subscribed to this list, so send replies to HER
address below.

To: USGENWEB-ALL-L(a)rootsweb.com
Hi everyone,
As you may know, several of us are working on the establishment of a
guidelines committee. In order to assist the committee as it works to
formulate , I would like to get your opinions on several issues that have
come up before the committee. Please add any comments you feel are
necessary, and please feel free to send this along anywhere you like. I'd
appreciate as many responses as possible and from as wide a range of
project members as possible. In your response, please let me know if you
are a CC and/or SC and/or a member of a Special Project.
FYI, the current guidelines for CCs are posted at:
http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/countypage.html; guidelines for SCs are
here:
http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/statepage.html. There are also
some minimal page requirements in the bylaws, which are
here:
http://www.usgenweb.org/official/bylaws.html
1) Have you ever visited or used any of the pages above, prior to this
survey? If so, did you find them helpful?
2) What, if any, are the deficiencies you see in the current guidelines?
3) What changes would you like to see to the Guidelines in this respect?
4) Does your state currently have its own guidelines established? (please
identify the state if the answer is yes).
5) Should the USGenWeb retain the query page requirement?
6) Should the proposed guidelines committee include the formation of
guidelines for the Special Projects?
7) In your opinion, does the Project need national level standardized
guidelines for state, county and special projects pages?
7) What are your opinions on the establishment of an "oversight" committee
to assist CCs and SCs in meeting these guidelines or any future guidelines
that may be addressed?
Thanks in advance for your responses! You may respond directly to this
list or to me directly. I will forward all responses to the Guidelines
'starter' committee.
