I make a motion to add the Adoptable Counties site to the USGenWeb Project page as a link. Larry FlesherSWSC SC Rep (VERY NICE JOB, Mary Alice!) From: Denise Wells via <board@rootsweb.com> To: Board <board@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, October 5, 2015 5:51 AM Subject: [BOARD] Fwd: Available counties page MaryAlice Schwanke who is now a member of the AB, created the below page to assist the Project in letting people know what counties in the project are available for adoption. This, I believe, could be very helpful to the Project overall. I just had someone refer a potential volunteer who actually wanted to know what was available project wide.

I also remember seeing someone post an agreement form that requires an applicant to agree to. Is this something we can also post a link to? I understand it would be generic and each state might have their own but it would be nice to have a template available. ~ Nancy -----Original Message----- From: board-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:board-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mary Schwanke via Sent: Monday, October 5, 2015 1:43 PM To: Denise Wells <ncusgenweb@gmail.com>; board@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BOARD] Fwd: Available counties page Yes I am, and I added my name to the page MaryAlice Schwanke NWPL-CC for The USGenWeb Project The USGenWeb Project is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2016, visit us at the NGS Conference, Booth 431 <http://fp37.a2zinc.net/clients/NGS/NGS2016/public/eventmap.aspx?shExhList=1 > !

I heartily agree to this idea! We have, in Alabama and Mississippi, quite a few counties available for adoption and, as the Marines say, we are looking for a few good men (and women, lol!)!

MaryAlice Schwanke who is now a member of the AB, created the below page to assist the Project in letting people know what counties in the project are available for adoption. This, I believe, could be very helpful to the Project overall. I just had someone refer a potential volunteer who actually wanted to know what was available project wide. I just sent her the link to this page. Could we hear a motion to add a link to this site to the national page?

After consultation on this issue, and in my interpretation of the below By-Law, since there has not been a change in the National Coordinator of the USGenWeb Project, pursuant to the following, a motion for sustaining the special rules is not required. See, "SECTION I. SUSTAINING/CHANGING THE SPECIAL RULES. These Special Rules will be sustained by motion/voting when a change in permanent National Coordinator occurs. These rules may be amended or revised by the members in accordance with USGenWeb ByLaws, Article VIII, Advisory Board Procedures." http://usgenweb.org/volunteers/special-rules.shtml Thus, we will dispense with this specific item at this point unless anyone objects and prefers additional discussion.

Pursuant to the below, I request that the Motion to Appointment Jeff Kemp as the National Webmaster, as well as the second, be withdrawn so we can request from the membership applications to be provided for consideration. As provided by The USGenWeb Project Standard Rules Section XI, which gives specific details for the process that must be followed in recruiting and selecting a webmaster for the National Project site, Subsection B, which states, in part, which was overlooked by your current NC (inadvertently): "Selection of the Webmaster - The USGenWeb Advisory Board (AB) shall issue a call to the Project at the beginning of the last two weeks of August, each year, for volunteers to fill the position of Website Manager. The slate of applicants for this position, received by the current AB prior to the expiration of their term on September 1 of each year, shall be provided to the newly seated Advisory Board for their consideration." Once the motion and second are withdrawn, we can issue the call for volunteers for this position. Thank you.
