Speaking from the perspective of having been around this project from the
beginning and of having served as National Coordinator and as SC of another
state, I see nothing wrong with Mark's inclusion of the Fulton County
Genealogical Society. Personally I prefer more separation but that is a
personal opinion, not my understanding of the rules and guidelines. As long
as the primary appearance of the page is that of a USGenWeb/OHGenWeb site,
there is nothing wrong with including the genealogical society especially if
they are supportive and/or cooperative with the USGenWeb site.

If a county web page meets all the other requirements spelled out in the
USGenWeb Bylaws and CC guidelines, I don't see why it may not also be
the main page of a genealogical society which may possibly work to
support OHGenWeb and has its members working to support it.
I don't recall there ever being an OHGenWeb discussion and vote on such
an issue. Who made up this rule?

You mentioned this issue previously after your election, but it is also
not a requirement that ever had a discussion and vote on by OHGenWeb
CCs. In 1998 we had a discussion and vote on additional page
requirements beyond what is in the USGenWeb Bylaws and CC guidelines, so
there is past precedent in having OHGenWeb CCs participate in decisions
on additional page requirements rather than having sole decisions made
by the SC.
If displaying the current year is an actual requirement (and one on
which you might consider delinking someone who does not comply), it
ought to go through a vote and be formally recorded as an actual page
requirement which can be found on the OHGenWeb state website.
