A privacy policy would be nice although it should be for the whole project. It should be included in the by-laws.

As Keith has pointed out, the motion to require removal of contemporary birth records from the Texas Archvies failed. Judging from the debate, the failure of the motion was due to as many and varied reasons as there are participants. I am open to discussion on whether or not GAGenWeb should have a privacy policy. I would like to hear from more of you on this question. Also, if we do agree that GAGenWeb should have a policy, should it be developed by a new committee or by the existing Bylaws Committee. At this time, let's NOT debate the privacy issue itself, only whether or not GAGenWeb should have a policy. Vivian >>
