I sent the following to the NE Board, in answer to questions asked
there.
I believe one very important question was left out. The five listed
have pretty much the same answers, which I am sure most people give.
###1. Should the by-laws be re-done immediately?
Yes,yes,yes
This is the one that has caused all the problems. As we quickly found
any by-laws do not work. We need a set that will cover most of the
questions that are now coming up over and over. Until this is done, the
same problems will keep occuring.
Everything has been about interpretation as each person or group sees
them as reading. And no two poople or groups read the same things in
them.
Let a committee be formed consising of people who have written by laws
in other org. and people who have at least a basis in law to fall back
on. Use some of the great resources to be found in USGenWeb. Once this
is done all the rest will fall into place. Put a call out to all the
people involved in USGenWeb asking for this type of people to come
forward. No picking and choosing, listen to all the ideas from these
people.

We are hoping that members of this region will use this list to
communicate
the needs and wants of the county coordinators and the state
coordinators to
the advisory board. Because there seems to be some controversy about the
project, we would like you to view the 5 statements below and let us know
what you think.
1. I would like to become more actively involved in the project ( committee
member, etc)
2. I wish to see the current Advisory Board continue to direct the
USGenWeb Project.
3. I wish the current Advisory Board would resign and a new Advisory
Board
would be elected.
4. I wish to see the Advisory Board disbanded and only have a National
Coordinator as the head of the USGenWeb Project.
5. I wish to see the USGenWeb Project disbanded.
