Dave,
To be honest I don't think there is a protocol when it comes to ACCs. If you look at
several of the other State's some have ACC's but there are no by-laws associated
with them and/or their duties, responsibilities and/or eligibilities within the USGenWeb
or State network. MS has in their bylaws that 1 ACC per county is allowed, but past that
there are no rules. IMO I really think its up to you, if you want to appoint the
individual into an ACC position and place their name and title on your web site. That
should be your prerogative to do so because there are no rules Nationally or State that
says you cannot do so. I don't think in your statement you are wanting them to have
voting rights. Just assist you in the additions to the site and support you with incoming
questions from viewers. I may be speaking out of line, but I really don't think any
one with OH would have problem with it either. I certainly wouldn't.
If you want them to have voting rights then I think your into some sort of protocol then.
I am not exactly sure how that works, and I believe that it was an issue still up in
discussion at the National Level as whether they shared 1 vote with the CC, which counts
as 1/2 pt CC & 1/2 pt ACC. I am not sure if that was ever decided. I am sure Sandy
would know more about that.

Subject: Re: [OHGEN] Assistant County Coordinator
Thank you Chyrl. Your situation is very much the same as mine for Hancock
Cty. My helper person has only been assisting for about a month. She isn't
looking for any sort of recognition but I'm sure would appreciate being more
"officially" connected with the effort. Making her a co-coordinator seems
to be too much too fast at this point although that could be possible longer
term. But then that is my question. What **is** the protocol for
appointing a co-coordinator? What is the protocol for appointing an
assistant coordinator?
