Vickery To: board@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 8:11 AM Subject: Statement on discussion/negotiations - Masthead for USGenWeb Rootweb hosted sites. As some of you may know, I attended the FGS conference in Fort Wayne, IN in mid-August where the USGenWeb Project hosted a booth. While there, I had the pleasure of meeting Sean Lloyd [again], Associate Community Development Manager for rootsweb.com and Donna Popelish, RootsWeb Help desk Manager. It was a pleasure to finally meet Donna, who is long overdue a huge THANK YOU from the USGenWeb Project for her care and responsiveness to the Project. She is one of our unsung heroes for her service! After the election, but prior to September 1, I received an email from Sean, requesting a teleconference with David Graham, RootsWeb Product Manager; Anna Fechter, Community Operations Manager The Generations Network; and Sean. While I agreed to the teleconfernce, I reiterated to them, that I was not National Coordinator yet. But I did agree to listen. And listen I did. Rootsweb and The Generation Network are very eager to work with us, (the Board and the Project membership), to facilitate a design for our masthead that distinctly displays our mission and goals while at the same time addresses their business concerns and decisions. I have no reason to believe that this negotiation will not be done in good faith, as both parties are eager to enter into a mutually acceptable agreement. The conclusion of our conversation was that they would prepare and forward to me a proposal for presentation to the Advisory Board and the Project. I will keep you all abreast of the discussions as they progress.
