Subject: [STATE-COORD-L] Election Study Committee Report
The Election Study Committee has completed its report and
respectfully
submits to the USGenWeb Project's Advisory Board and to the USGenWeb
Project as a whole. It is available at:
http://www.timmweb.pair.com/esc/report.html
The committee has decided to share the voting *barometer* on the report
preparation. As you can imagine keeping track of approval of the many
sections was a bit mind-boggling. We used the graphic at:
http://www.timmweb.pair.com/esc/esc.gif
to keep track as we went along. The top two lines are the final round of
acceptance of the full report and the minor tweaking as we voted on it.
The
bottom two lines were a couple of specific items as we worked through
the
sections, all 27 of them! (The names have been removed from the
barometer.)
Green indicates a vote to accept a section. The gray column is me...
as
chair I did not vote and the Y indications on the final two rounds (the
top
two rows) merely indicate that I also accepted the final report but
do not
count in the vote total.
Personally, I would like to thank the members of the Election Study
Committee for their hard work and devotion to the task. We did not always
agree but everyone managed to hang in there and talk through those areas.
I
am exceedingly proud of the quality of the members of this project as
a
whole, the terrific response we got to our election survey. My special
thanks go to the committee members and to those who responded to our
survey
but also to all those in this great project as it is you who made
this a
worthwhile project to undertake.
Holly Timm
Chair, Election Study Committee
