For those of us who were curious about ASC position requirements, here is
what I found off the bylaws page (boy, did I have to dig for these - there
is no link anywhere regarding the bylaws on any of the main pages). I
couldn't find anything specific about what a ASC does -- so this is just
general info, FYI:
----------------->
ARTICLE XII. STATE PROJECTS
Section 1. Each state shall have a State Coordinator who manages the state
website and oversees the state project. In addition, each state shall have
an Assistant State Coordinator or other support team in place that can take
charge in case the State Coordinator becomes unavailable for a period of 30
days, unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Section 2. The state website shall include direct links to the county pages,
The USGenWeb Project national website, The USGenWeb Project Archives
(Digital Library) at both their own state and the national levels, The
USGenWeb Project's Guidelines/Standards for county websites (which includes
a link to the Official Project Name/Logo page), The USGenWeb Project
Copyright Information page, and the WorldGenWeb Project.
Section 3. It shall be the responsibility of each state organization to
ensure that the state project is in compliance with the stated bylaws of The
USGenWeb Project.
Section 4. State Coordinators shall remain subscribed to the State
Coordinators mailing list and maintain a current mailing list of all
local-level coordinators. State Coordinators shall provide their name,
postal address, and phone number to the National Coordinator to be held in
strictest confidence and only used in the case of an emergency.
Section 5. State projects are empowered to develop/adopt any additional
rules/bylaws and guidelines, as appropriate, for their state so long as they
do not conflict with these bylaws. State projects shall be highly encouraged
to develop and adopt rules/bylaws that cover grievance procedures within the
state
Section 6. It shall be the responsibility of each state project to
periodically review local-level project websites to ensure compliance with
The USGenWeb Project/XXGenWeb Project established guidelines/standards.
Section 7. The state project shall have the responsibility to remove any
links to websites which fail to meet The USGenWeb Project/XXGenWeb Project
established guidelines/standards.
Section 8. State Coordinators shall be elected to those positions by the
local-level coordinators within the state. Those State Coordinators and
Assistant State Coordinators in place at the time these bylaws are adopted
shall be exempt from election procedures, unless he/she/they are removed,
resign, or are unable to perform their duties.
Section 9. State Coordinators and Assistant State Coordinators are subject
to possible removal by a 2/3 vote of the Advisory Board and a 2/3 vote of
the Local Coordinators within the state. A quorum of 75% of the Local
Coordinators shall participate in order for the vote to be binding.
Section 10. If a State Coordinator is unable to perform his/her duties, the
Assistant State Coordinator, or other support team, shall serve until an
election can take place within the state. In the case of state projects with
more than one Assistant State Coordinator, they shall choose one among
themselves to serve in the interim.
