Good morning,
This message is being sent to each State Coordinator and Assistant
State Coordinator in the USGenWeb Project. It is also being sent to
the Special Project managers who, while not being
permitted to sponsor/co-sponsor the proposal, should be equally concerned.
For several years it has been known and discussed that our bylaws
provide for a huge discrepancy in voter representation. That is, the
SC/ASC members as a group, now enjoy a 10 to 1 voter representation
over the CC group. The simple numbers are that 22 SC/ASC members
receive the same amount of Advisory Board representation as do 220 CC members.
In an organization that has been deemed a grounds up organization and
where the CCs have been acknowledged as the back bone of the
organization, this is a profound disparity.
To all of you I ask that you review the proposal to correct this
disparity. It is posted at URL
http://skyways.lib.ks.us/genweb/elk/2007amnd.html
I also ask that after reviewing the proposal you bring it before your
membership for discussion and eventual vote. A vote to
sponsor/co-sponsor the proposed amendment change.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. If there are any questions
concerning the proposal or the numbers justifying the proposal,
please don't hesitate to contact me or to address those concerns on
the DISCUSS list.
Don Tharp
