Why has the link for the USGenWeb Census Project been removed from our National website?? Why was it replaced with a link to the Archives Census Project which was advised by Motion 99- 4 to cease soliciting census transcriptions and concentrate on transcription of other kinds of data? Removing a link to a Special Project of the USGenWeb Project from the National website is a serious action and requires Board approval. Replacing this link with one to a sub-project that the Board has previously stated should not even exist is, at least improper, at best illegal. In the meanwhile, this unauthorized action has made the efforts of many dedicated volunteers a mockery, inflicted confusion upon them, and will certainly result in alienating many of them. By whose order and under what authority has all this been done??? Virginia Cisewski NW-Plains CC Rep

Hi All, I have completed updating the motions pages of the National pages. However, it will be after the first of the year before I can take care of the the volunteer info page. There are many, many updates needed with some of the pages of need of a complete revamp!!! I have been swamped with Christmas and some other things. My 17 year old was in a car accident (she's fine, but the car isn't), our roof was leaking and assorted other little mishaps that have taken up a lot of my time. I apologize for my lack of participation on the Board, my lack of voting on the past few motions and my lag in updating the pages. It might be best for the Project if you all selected a new Webmaster. I love doing the job, but it seems that I am so swamped lately that I don't keep up the way I should. So, maybe this is something you all should begin to think about. Pam

Seasons Greetings to all my friends on this list. Hope you have the happiest of holidays and a wonderful new millennium. Pam

Seasons Greetings, Merry Christmas, Happy Festival of Lights! My wish is that each of you and yours have a very happy, safe and enjoyable set of holidays whatever your choice of holiday may be.

Cleaning up the Boardroom and turning down the lights for a few days - a few last notes: Motion 99-31: to add USGW_ALL@listbot to Volunteer's Info page vote totals: Yes - 3; No - 9; Abstain - 1; Not voting - 3. Motion fails with 3/4 of members voting casting a 'No' vote. ---------------- Motion made 12/10 by Teri - 'I move that subscription directions for the discussion list USGenWeb-DISCUSS-L@rootsweb.com be added to the Info for Volunteers' and called again for a second on 12/16 - is declared dead as no second was recieved. ---------------- Motion 99-34 - announced as open for discussion on 12/16: 'Now that Joy's motion "to open subscription to BOARD-L on a read-only basis" has received a second from Shari - the Motion numbered 99-34 is now open for discussion.' This will be voted on in January. Tim

Motion 99-33: "to add the discussion list USGW-CC-L@usgennet.org be added to the Info for Volunteers - page". Vote totals: Yes - 3; No - 8; Abstain - 3; Not voting - 2 Motion fails with 72% of members voting casting a 'No' vote.

Due to a miscount on my part - a revised total - no change in the final outcome.
