I'm in agreement with Billie. I think volunteers other than CC's should be allowed on the list. I see no good reason to keep volunteers at arms-length or discourage active communication amongst Ccs and volunteers by limiting this. If the volunteer wants to be on it, I saw great!

Wellllllllllllllll, the mail list is for business of the county coordinators to vote or discuss business or to complain and disagree... When a volunteer is not a CC then they get a bad taste for what happens behind the scenes. We have a volunteer page on the web site and her name can be added there as a volunteer transcriber and any CC who wants something transcribed can communicate with her off the list. The other things is............. it is hard enough to keep track of who is who and where they are and with some using email addresses other than something that tells who they are we are back to are they for real or an alias. Thanks Denise, I think you explained it very well. Gail On Sat, Feb 11, 2012 at 11:45 AM, Cynthia Monroe <cynthiamcgrady@aol.com>wrote: > I'm in agreement with Billie.
