Donna, At no time was a grievance brought to the GaGenWeb Council. Had there been a grievance brought before the Council (which the guidelines require), then we might have a different outcome today. Thanks for letting me know that I had neglected to fix a page. I can always depend on you for help.

Richard, Please correct me if I am wrong, but I do not believe there is a procedure in the guidelines for arbitration when a county coordinator has a grievance against the state coordinator (as was the case with the petitioners) or member of the Georgia council. Quoting from the guidelines: >11. Settlement of Grievances. >In the event of a disagreement involving a GAGenWeb site, or a >disagreement over genealogical data stored on, or proposed for... As I understand this provision of the guidelines, the only criteria for a grievance is a dispute concerning site and site content. Again quoting from the guidelines: >The decision of the State Coordinator may be appealed to the GAGenWeb Council. If the dispute involves the SC, and the council serves strictly at the pleasure of the SC, there would be no point in an appeal. It would seem that the only remaining course of action would be to petition the national Advisory Board for redress of grievances.
