Pam, I agree with you that we need to vote on Motion 00-8 and then seat a Census Rep and then vote on Motion 00-6, in that order, and that Tim's long sequence of forwarded messages and the email we've been getting from constituents can be used to inform our discussion and votes on Motion 00-6. The reference to Motion 00-8 as "the delinking issue" raises some flags, though. I hope that everyone is clear that Motion 00-8 is NOT a vote on the question "Should the non-Archives Census Project be delinked from the National Pages?" It is specifically a vote on whether the National Coordinator's unlinking of the Census Project should be reversed because the proper procedures for the delinking of a project as outlined in Article VI, Section 5 were not followed. It would require a separate motion to actually initiate the process of Article VI, Section 5. -- Teri
