Hi all,
In preparation of my submission of the 4th quarter voter list to the
USGenWeb Project Election committee, please respond to this roll call
by Friday, November 7, 2003.
All of you also have the ability to register as a voter with the
USGenWeb Project at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwelections/register.html. Or, if you have
already registered, to manage your registered email address if/when it
changes at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwelections/regchange.html.
Thanks very much for your attention to this matter.

Tina:
I can see your point. Having one official list would be a lot of work for
you. However, I get well over 100 emails each day, and I don't have time
to read emails that are not pertinent to me, and I need a quick way to wade
through the emails that are not important to me.
For example, the email of Sun, 26 Oct 2003 18:15:19 -0700 and
the reply of Sun, 26 Oct 2003 18:28:15 -0700 had nothing to do with being
informed of important information as it pertains to WIGenWeb Project and
USGenWeb Project business. Therefore, I did not need to receive these
emails. Yet they were in my in box ,and I had to take the time to open
them and scan them to see if they contained any information I needed to
know. Then, finding out they did not contain any pertinent information, I
deleted them. This is time I could have better spent on other things.
My suggestion to anyone who wants to avoid wasting their time on the
"superfluous" posts is to use the filter options provided by most email
programs. I would be willing to help anyone using either Eudora or Outlook
set up a filter so they don't have to deal with the non-business related
emails from the WIGEN-L.
If you need help in filtering out the unofficial emails, please send me a
private email at: mickalunas(a)charter.net, and I will walk you thorough the
process. From now on, I'm only receiving the official WIGEN-L emails
through my email program.
Enjoy!

Tina:
I'd like to suggest that the WI GenWeb project have two lists available for
the CCs:
* One list would be mandatory for all CCs. Only the SC would be able
to post to this list, and it would be reserved for communicating official
WI GenWeb announcements. Since this list would have very few postings, I
think a lot of the CCs would be more likely to read these postings rather
than automatically deleting something just because it came from
WIGEN-L.
* One list would be voluntary for all CCs. This one everyone could
post to, and it would be a more informal list. It would be more like what
the WIGEN-L is now.
This may solve the problem of CCs automatically deleting items sent to the
WIGEN-L list, and it would help alleviate a lot of the hostilities we have
seen in the past.
Marie
DISCUSSION: Basic Requirements for becoming a WIGenWeb Project County
Coordinator.
Below I have listed an outline of the very basic requirements to
become a WIGenWeb County Coordinator. This is in no way complete and I
provide it for discussion and brainstorming purposes only. I will
admit that in compiling these I visited many USGenWeb Project State
pages, so the ideas aren't all original, but seem to work well in the
states I visited.
I would like to use these discussions as we go along to not only
update our WIGenWeb Project Guidelines pages (by majority vote of
WIGenWeb Project volunteers), but to also compile a listing of useful
resources to incorporate into a "Volunteers Helping Volunteers"
website. Future discussion topics will deal with the "nitty gritty"
of the role of State Coordinator, Assistant State Coordinator, County
Coordinator, Assistant County Coordinator etc.
Please take time to read the outline, and to share thoughts, ideas,
comments and resources you may have to expand and improve.
Thanks!
Tina

DISCUSSION: Term of State Coordinator.
One of the recent SC Election issues was the term of the WIGenWeb
Project State Coordinator. With this note, I would like to open this
discussion in the hopes of updating our WIGenWeb Project Guidelines in
respect to this issue.
Below I have referenced USGenWeb Project considerations to guide our
discussions.
Please all take time to read, ask questions, and discuss here on this
list what avenue you all would like to take in respect to this issue.

Considerations when discussing:
USGenWeb Project Bylaws: http://www.usgenweb.org/official/bylaws.html
"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."

On-going discussions of the Bylaws Revision Committee:
http://home.mchsi.com/~sagitta56/revisions.htm (ARTICLE XI. STATE
PROJECTS). When considering the above be mindful that: "These are
"first draft" proposed revisions and are subject to further revision by
amendment during final review."

Mail Lists:
2003-10-24
Domains bouncing e-mail from RootsWeb
AOL.COM has taken exception to one of our mailing lists and is bouncing
email from that server. While this happens occasionally and is usually
resolved quickly there is no guarantee that is the case this time.
Users of aol.com service should direct their queries to the AOL HelpDesk as
the matter is solely within their control. Users should also check their
list subscriptions as e-mail addresses have bounced off mailing lists. See

Following resolution of e-email problems, subscribers are encouraged to
double-check their subscriptions to mailing lists at

I look forward to working together with each of you to build WIGenWeb
Project to be "Genealogy at it "Very" Best!"
I would like to thank Marie and Tim for their willingness to run for
the position of State Coordinator, and each and every one of you for
raising concerns and issues. I hope we can work out solutions through
discussion and consensus over the next few weeks as a group.
I will be opening discussion topics over the next few days to begin
the process of addressing them, and it is my hope that each of you
will participate.
Thank you all for the privilege and pleasure to continue as your State
Coordinator.
Most sincerely,
Tina
Bev, Jackie and Larry,
With this note, I would like to thank each of you, and the USGenWeb
Project Election Committee for facilitating the WIGenWeb Project SC
election. I, and the WIGenWeb Project volunteers appreciate your
time, energy and hard work. Thank you!
If there are no further questions for Bev, I will unsubscribe her from
this list later this evening.
Most sincerely,
Tina
