Please cast your vote on Motion 99-29 - to restore USGenWeb-ALL-L to Volunteer's Info page - by saying your equivalent of yes, no or abstain. Thanks, Tim

Now that the motion designated as 99-32 made by Gloria: "that we accept the nomination of Ken Short for the postition of Secretary of the Advisory Board to replace the retiring Ed Book" has received a second from Ginger, discussion on this motion is now open. Tim

I second the nomination of Ken Short for Secretary. I'm sure he'll do a fine job. I'd also like to extend my thanks to Ed Book for his service as Secretary to the Board and wish him the best.

Discussion now opens regarding Motion 99-31 amended as follows: add USGW_ALL@listbot to Volunteer's Info page. Tim

I'll be forwarding my nominee for Board Secretary as soon as I hear from them regarding the position. Tim

Hi, Tim, Because of personal and family health problems, I haven't been able to be online at all for several weeks and I will probably not be able to spend much time online for at least the next month. As a result, I think it would be in the USGenWeb Project's best interest for me to resign as Secretary. Please accept my apologies for being unable to give this position the necessary attention. <snip> Ed Book

And, completing the set (!), In the interests of helping new volunteers know what venues are available for discussing matters of common interest, I move that subscription directions for the discussion list USGenWeb-DISCUSS-L@rootsweb.com be added to the Info for Volunteers - Mailing Lists page currently located at: http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/mail.html along with the information that subscription to this list is voluntary. - --------------------------------------------------------- This is the last one, I think. I know of no more mailing lists for project members at large. Are there any I don't know about? (The only mailing lists I know of that I haven't motioned on are those for the special projects volunteers, and it should be up to the managers of those projects if they want to ask to be included on the general Mailing Lists page.)

On Wednesday, 8 Dec 1999, I sent a msg to USGenWeb-Discuss-L asking: > >I am currently making motions to the USGenWeb Advisory Board to >add to the Info for Volunteers - Mailing Lists page located at: > > http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/mail.html > >subscription information for the various voluntary discussion lists. >> >Is there >anyone subscribed to USGenWeb-Discuss-L who is not subscribed to >USGenWeb-ALL-L, and who would like to give this list increased >exposure? I only got two replies to the question, one from Abby Balderman, who said that she was "only subscribed to this list (USGenWeb Discuss) and have no intention of ever resubscribing to the USGenWeb-ALL list", and one from Melissa Simmons who said "let's keep -ALL and dump -DISCUSS. I agree that -DISCUSS is repetitive." (BTW, I was not proposing closing USGenWeb-DISCUSS-L, just asking whether its current subscribers want it to be advertised.) Two data points isn't a lot to go on. Is there anyone else who has an opinion as to whether they want USGenWeb-DISCUSS-L to be listed on the volunteers/mail.html page?

Since Motion 99-31 has been amended to list only USGW_ALL@listbot.com - ---------------------------------------------------------- In the interests of helping new volunteers know what venues are available for discussing matters of common interest, and in recognition that all USGenWeb project members are equally deserving of full inclusion in the USGenWeb family, I move that subscription directions for the discussion list USGW-CC-L@usgennet.org be added to the Info for Volunteers - Mailing Lists page currently located at: http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/mail.html along with the information that subscription to this list is voluntary and open only to USGenWeb County Coordinators.

--=====================_9365259==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Since Teri has offered to accept the modification of 99-31, if Virginia - her second will agree then I believe there's no reason for further discussion of the amendment - the motion can be modified and discussion can begin on the newly modified motion.

Teri and all, This is definitely a friendly amendment and if you still feel USGWCC-L needs to be voted on then make that a seperate motion. Guess maybe I should explain my reason for the amendment a bit. I believe USGWCC-L should not even be considered because it is exclusionary. The list is not open to all project members. The list appears to have been created as a forum for those who enjoy bashing the project and RW. Folks that have divergent opionions from those of the list owner and the rest of these folks are banned. I'm sure the first thing to come up is that there are folks that have been banned from other project lists, but that banning was done by the server and not by members, or the board, of the USGW Project. I personally have never supported that ban, but we have no control over that. While I also do not support the DBS, distributed by means of USGW_ALL@listbot.com, it is open to all project members, to the best of my knowledge. I'm not sure why we are even considering adding the DBS, USGW_ALL@listbot.com, since it is merely one CC's forum for amusing herself at the expense of others and her own public avenue for the RW bashing she seems to take such delight in. But, since it does appear to be open to all project members, I would consider it a more legitimate forum to vote on than USGW-CC-L.

In general, I prefer to split motions up whenever people might like one part and not another. (One of my pet peeves about the way our state and national legislatures work is all those huge omnibus bills where you can't get something you want without getting a whole bunch of stuff you don't.) I guess I just assumed that most board members would vote the same way on one of those two as they voted on the other (the category they share being "non-Rootsweb-hosted lists".) If that assumption was wrong, by all means separate them. Does this mean it is a "friendly amendment" and doesn't have to be voted on? I just hope nobody wants to split up the 4 regional lists into separate motions. :-) // Teri

Now that Teri's motion to add USGW-CC-L and USGW_ALL@listbot to Volunteer's Info page has received a second from Virginia - the Motion numbered 99-31 would now be open for discussion. However, as it now has a suggested amendment by Ginger: I move to amend this motion as follows: "To strike the USGW-CC-L@usgennet.org list from this motion and to make this motion only include USGW_ALL@listbot.com (aka The Daily Board Show)". Since this amendment has been seconded by Richard, discussion instead opens on the amendment. Tim

I second the motion. Richard M.
