I would also be happy to volunteer to be on the guidelines committee.

I as well publicly offer myself as a volunteer for any committee/tasks that needs volunteers. I believe that I have shown with my stand against attacking former CCs on GA County Sites that I have the best interests of this GAGenWeb at heart.

I appreciate the volunteerism here today. I am overhwelmed and am thrilled to have been proven wrong. However, the call has not yet been sent out for volunteers, nor was I authorized to put the call out. I stated that we would call for volunteers AFTER the election has been completed. Subject to, and without waiving the foregoing, I will lobby our SC for permission to form the Committee now, that we may begin this very important task. Please feel free to continue to volunteer. If more than six people volunteer, then I would be forced to select from the list of those who have volunteered. I would prefer not to have to do that because that might upset some people, and I am not looking to do that. I have the following who have volunteered: Vivian, Jan, Jacki, Debra, Derek, Donna and myself. So, we need at least one more person. I do not want to limit the volunteers, only the actual number on the committee, as too many on the committee would make an already onerous task impossible. What I would be willing to do, however, is assign one volunteer to handle each region of the state (meaning we would need eight total volunteers), and have them more or less act as "representatives", seeking ideas from their constituency and bringing them to the committee. For those in the Coastal Region, I have noticed that only one of your has volunteered (hint, hint, hint). <grins> Alright, so I am gunna favor my own people. I know them. I respect them. I enjoy working with them. (They are the BEST region in the State project, afterall). Richard
