Ginger, Your motion is improper and out of order, the Election Committee's decision is binding on the Advisory Board. If you must act in such a partisan manner do so thusly I move to rescind the 60 date cutoff and bestow all eligible members with the *right* to vote.

April 1, 2000, cut-off date I move that the April 1, 2000 cut off date for voter eligibility be declared contrary to the Bylaws of the USGenWeb Project and that this Board instruct the Elections Committee that all members of the USGenWeb Project are eligible to vote in accordance with the duly adopted Bylaws of The USGenWeb Project. My personal note and not part of the motion itself: To do anything less smacks of attempted manipulation of the Election by this Board and the Election committee.
