I am also going to abstain. Jim

After reading the messages posted regarding this motion, I'd like to change my vote to ABSTAIN. I would like to see Megan stay on the SC list if she'd like to, but do agree that this should be initiated by the SCs. Shari

I think abstaining is a better way than voting no to express the feeling that this gesture should be initiated by the SC's. If we vote "no", it sounds too much like saying that we think she shouldn't be allowed on the SC list. If enough of us abstain that a quorum cannot be reached, then it better expresses the idea that we have nothing against the motion except that it is not within the proper jurisdiction of the board. // Teri

I hope that the SC's will address this issue. I would find Megan a valued member of any list. I not being a SC feel that the Board does not have the right to accorded FULL membership privileges to the SC's List. I Vote NO. Richard...

I appreciate the sentiment, and agree, that it is a wonderful gesture of respect that Megan richly deserves. But, this gesture should be extended by the participants of the State Coordinators list. Therefore, I vote No. Tina Vickery NE/NC County Coordinator Representative In a message dated 12/03/1999 1:24:10 AM Eastern Standard Time, tstowell@chattanooga.net writes: > Please vote on Motion 99-28 - SC Membership List Priveleges - Special made > by Joe Zsedeny and seconded by Betsy Mills by indicating yes, no, abstain. > > "I make a motion that Megan be accorded full membership priveleges on the > State Coordinator List for as long as she desires to remain there." > > Thanks, > > Tim

Yes, although I do realize that we do not dictate to the SC list. It is a nice gesture and then will be up to the SC's to make a final decision.

I do not believe that the Board should vote on this, I believe the SC's should honor their own (maybe a Hall of Fame) and in this case, I believe that she should have the full priveleges but I don't think it is the Board's Business to yea or aye.

I appreciate all Megan's contributions to USGW. However, I"m not sure that this motion is within the bounds of our authority. The SC list is a working list for the SC's & ASC's, and I feel that this is a decision that should be left up to them. I did not see anyone ask the SC's for input on this, albeit I've had some mail problems and possibly missed it. Until, and unless, the SC's decide that this is something they wish to do to honor Megan I regretfully have to vote NO.

While this is a nice gesture, it would be helpful to know if any of the past NCs want to be on the SC list. Tim At 01:31 PM 11/26/99 -0500, Holly Timm wrote: >I'd like to broaden that just a tad...

While I agree with the sentiments expressed, shouldn't the SC's be asked? It is their required list.

I'd like to broaden that just a tad... I think it appropriate that any and all past NC's be accorded that privilege.

I second that motion, Joe.

I make a motion that Megan be accorded full membership priveleges on the State Coordinator List for as long as she desires to remain there. Megan's unselfish actions allow us today to even consider such a motion. I shudder to think of the fate of this project had other hands been at the helm. Megan was under no compulsion nor pressure to turn this from a more or less autocratic to a democratic organization other than her desire to do the right thing. Her comments and experience are of real value to us so that the favorable passage of this motion benefits us and honors her. Lets do it. Joe
