As some of you may know, I attended the FGS conference in
Fort Wayne, IN in mid-August where the USGenWeb Project
hosted a booth. While there, I had the pleasure of meeting
Sean Lloyd [again], Associate Community Development Manager
for
rootsweb.com and Donna Popelish, RootsWeb Help desk
Manager.
It was a pleasure to finally meet Donna, who is long
overdue a huge THANK YOU from the USGenWeb Project for her
care and responsiveness to the Project. She is one of our
unsung heroes for her service!
After the election, but prior to September 1, I received an
email from Sean, requesting a teleconference with David
Graham, RootsWeb Product Manager; Anna Fechter, Community
Operations Manager The Generations Network; and Sean.
While I agreed to the teleconfernce, I reiterated to them,
that I was not National Coordinator yet. But I did agree
to listen.
And listen I did. Rootsweb and The Generation Network are
very eager to work with us, (the Board and the Project
membership), to facilitate a design for our masthead that
distinctly displays our mission and goals while at the same
time addresses their business concerns and decisions. I
have no reason to believe that this negotiation will not be
done in good faith, as both parties are eager to enter into
a mutually acceptable agreement.
The conclusion of our conversation was that they would
prepare and forward to me a proposal for presentation to
the Advisory Board and the Project.
I will keep you all abreast of the discussions as they
progress.
Tina Vickery,
National Coordinator
USGenWeb Project
