I move to Amend Previously Adopted Motion 99-25. Issue: Motion to Appoint a Secretary Date: 12 September 1999 Motion #99-25:I move that Motion 99-2 be rescinded and that the Board appoint a secretary for the one year term of Board II or until dismissed by Board II or a succeeding Board. Further, That the secretary nominee be selected from among the volunteer membership of the USGenWeb Project. That the nominee to this position not be currently serving as a Board member. That the nominee be nominated by the National Coordinator and appointed by a majority vote of a quorum of the Board. Rejection of a nominee will require the NC to forward another name. The appointee must either be knowledgeable in parliamentary procedure or be willing to learn proper procedure using Roberts Rules and be well versed in the Project Bylaws. Duties of the appointee shall be those assigned by the Chair (NC). The NC shall insure that the secretary be subscribed to all appropriate mailing lists. As a minimum these lists would be the USGENWEB-ALL-L, STATE-COORD-L, ARCHIVES-L, the Board-Exec-L and the Board-L. *************************************************************************** I move that Previously Adopted Motion 99-25 be amended to read: That the Board Secretary not be currently serving as a Board member.
