I am in agreement with you Mike. I have several facebook groups related to
counties that I CC. Each has a Banner that includes the USGenWeb logo and
State Project logo. Since I started those groups traffic to my county
sites has increased y and none of the members of those groups USGenWeb
existed prior to the group being formed. MY SC is a co-owner of each of
the groups and FLGenWeb any CC can create a county affiliated group but an
ASC or the SC must also be a co owner of the group.
Now if I have to pull those banners tis going to cause a lot of bad
publicity for USGenWeb, because I will have to explain why they were
pulled. Do you really want t alienate thousands of potential visitors? I
have a group that does transcriptions for the county sites, trust me iif I
have to disassociate the groups from USGenWeb the transcriptions will dry
up and will be a bad taste in their mouths.
Via those groI have even recruited new CC's,that will also dry up and I
just might have to rethink my membership in an organization that refuses
to even think outside the box and does everything it to stifle any kind of
free thought. What is the AB afraid of? Why are y''all acting like a
bunch of fascists?

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I feel this proposed change to the Standing Rules is being pushed through
without proper notice or input by the members! Not only that but there is
some question in my mind at least as to who is the NC at this point. The
elected NC, Denise Wells , whom the last we heard from had handed over the
reigns to the RAL, Patrice Green There is no corresponding notice to the
membership that Denise has once again taken up the reigns.as NC.
I think these questions must be answered and discussion allowed by the
members before the AB voteon anything affecting us all. You are an
ADVISORY board only, ie to advise; not a Board of Directors, Once again you
have put the cart before the horse as it were!
