NW/Plains Region SC's, please pass this on to your CC's....
Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska,
North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, Wyoming
To the USGenWeb Projects NW/Plains Region
In an effort to keep all of you informed of the happenings on the Board,
we
have set up a web page for announcements and information you may need to
see what is on the agenda, to be voted on, and so on. The web page is at
Geocities, but it's in Ginger Cisewski's Plus account..<gg>
http://www.geocities.com/~g_cisewski/nw-plains/nw-plains.html
We have also set up a mail-list. This mailing list covers the region of
the
NW/Plains Regions as established by USGenWeb in June 1998 which went into
effect on September 1, 1998. On this date your elected representatives
for
the County Hosts, Debbie Wafford and Virginia "Ginger" Cisewski, and the
State Coordinators Representative, Teresa "Terry" Davis, took their seats
on the Advisory Board of the USGenWeb Project.
As your representatives, we have been discussing how we may get word to
our
constituents of Board Events and decisions in an way that would not
encumber any of us. This would also have to be the easiest way that we
could post and find out how the CC's and SC's in our region would like for
us to vote on a particular issue. This mailing list was the solution.
This board will be for the discussion of CURRENT issues and how they may
effect our project in the future.
This list will be semi-moderated and a few rules will apply to this list.
1) Other people and there opinions will be treated with respect (no flame
wars).
2) Our focus is on current and future USGW. We see no need to continuously
rehash old history.
3) Standard netiquette applies including no foul language or personal
insults.
Any person who can not stay within the above guidelines will receive a
letter of warning from the three representatives that their conduct is not
appropriate for this list. Three warning letters and you will be
unsubscribed from this list, and put on the reject list. Exceptionally
flagrant abuse will be dealt with immediately. If you are on the
USGenWeb-ALL list you will understand why we have taken this stand. This
will NOT be another USGenWeb -ALL list. The plus side to this is that
folks
should feel free to post their ideas freely without the fear of being
raked
over the coals.
We want to truly serve you in the way you want us to represent you on the
board. We feel strongly that this avenue of communication will aid us in
getting to know you better and thus help us to better represent you.
Thank you,
Teresa (Terry) Davis
Virginia "Ginger" Cisewski
