Richard, I have forwarded the email you sent me privately back to you so you can see the address to which the email was sent: Linda Barton. It was the one where you referenced the Cobb Cemeteries that you and Wyndell are working on. Thought you might want to resend it so those links can be shared with others. I know how much hard work goes into getting cemetery photos online.

The Election of Board Members to the Advisory Board who will represent all of us will be taking place July 1-31. That's a long time period to assure that everyone has the opportunity to vote. Now you can begin to review the candidate's and their campaign pages to read about their views on USGenWeb and their goals for our wonderful project. Voting is so important...and here is your opportunity to make your own decision about the person you would like to be seated on the AB for the coming years. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwelections/nationals-index.htm Click on Meet the Candidates and get to know them. All of them welcome your e-mails if you have specific questions. As a CC in Georgia, you are eligible to vote on: 1) National Coordinator 2) Representative at Large 3) SEMA State Coordinator Representative 4) SEMA CC Representative (2 positions) Another good way to learn about individuals is to go through the recent Archives for the USGENWEB-Discuss list, as many of them are participants on that list. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ Type in USGENWEB-DISCUSS and then select the current month. At the top of the page for the month's messages, you can select "threaded" (which sometimes is confusing) or chronological. Of course you can also be a member of this list by subscribing....but it is a very active list! It is a well run list though, and you'll learn a lot from the dialogue that occurs. Virginia Crilley

Obviously some folks don't understand that private mail is just that - that it is not to be shared with others and plopped all over mailing lists. The private mail below was a standard note sent to CCs under the Guidelines. As Jan has said - private notes are better than public ones, for the business of compliance and/or broken links are not public business but rather private between the coordinator and their RC, ASC or SC.

Well it would seem to me that someone needs to sent the SC a message like he sent Bettie Wood. At least Donna has stipulated what needs to be fixed which is more courtesy than Bettie was afforded.

Richard, I believe the email you sent me privately may have been the one you intended to go to GAGEN. You might want to resend it so everyone can see your new project with Wyndell. You and Wyndell might be interested in seeing what I did with Fayette County Cemeteries last year http://www.rootsweb.com/~gafayett/Cemeteries/cemeteries.htm and how I am cross-linking them with my Churches page http://www.rootsweb.com/~gafayett/church/churches.htm The researchers in Fayette County have really appreciated this and begun to contribute more material and photos. In reference to your message, I believe it goes much deeper and to points of more importance than "policeing pages". I am sorry to hear that you as a CC, RC and ASC are not interested.

Linda, I have not looked at that site, and have no intention of doing so. I am too busy working on various counties and projects together with my RC duties to have time to police other people's pages. I am certainly glad that you and others have sufficient time on your hands to visit other pages. I know that I can rely on you. :) Regardless of the above, my point was, and remains, that the proper mechanism to make these concerns known is to address the CC, his or her RC, or the SC and ASC *privately*, and not publicly on the list where doing so is only going to upset some, embarass others, and run others away from the Project.

Richard, I believe the majority of County Coordinators in GA GenWeb do have that goal in common. I also believe the majority of County Coordinators in GA GenWeb have brought their sites into compliance with the Georgia Guidelines that were voted on by the County Coordinators in 2002. I also believe it is a disservice to ALL of the County Coordinators in GA GenWeb for there to be county sites that do not meet the guidelines as egregiously as some. Go look at the website in question. What is your opinion? It has been "public" for 4 months. Are you proud to have it as part of GA GenWeb?

Ummmm, I would like to know what was stipulated that needed to be fixed? If it was *her* county being critiqued like that *in public*, I bet she would not be as happy about it.

I said nothing on that order. All I did was ask a simple question. I don't feel that's out of line. Page checks are good, if you recall, I suggested surfing the pages as is done in TX. I do believe in page compliance. I do not however believe that it should be done without a sanctioned committee to do it, or the SC and RC's. To check a person's site for noncompliance and broken links and then announce it to the list, is not a good idea. It causes embarrassment to those CC's. When its done, a private email should be sent to that person. IMHO, it scares people away if they are new, and I would hate to see that happen. We need all the volunteers we can get. I just believe in privacy instead of embarrassment. Constructive criticism and encouragement, goes a long way. Just my two cents worth.
