Regarding the CC guidelines, I am comfortable with them as they are currently written. One comment I'd like to make about the bulleted lines under 'Other Links' is that line #1 and line #4 appear to me to be basically the same idea. If they are not, clarification may be in order. Mitch Ryder ASC, CC for Ada and Canyon Counties -----Original Message----- From: Mike St. Clair/ST <mike@saintclair.org> To: idgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, Nov 29, 2009 9:24 am Subject: [IDGEN] Project Member/County Coordinator Guidelines I'd like to invite feedback and kick off any needed discussion on the current draft guidelines for IDGENWEB so we can make progress towards formally adopting them. I do realize that some members would prefer to have no guidelines in place, relying instead on the good will of those who serve as volunteer coordinators. But having served in quite a few state projects over the last 10 years, I have come to learn that one disruptive project member can wreak havoc in the absence of any guidelines at all. I think there is a happy medium, and have attempted to craft these towards that moderate view. I have also received a few suggestions and incorporated them over time. The draft guidelines can be reviewed at http://www.idgenweb.org/idgenweb_main_volunteers.php. Note that there is descriptive material at the very top, followed by a set of requirements which must be followed by project members, and at the very end are a set of suggestions, which are felt to improve a website but are not required. I would appreciate each of you reviewing this material and responding in one of the following ways: You approve of them as currently written. You would like to see some specific changes or additions - say what they are. You would like to see some changes or additions, but don't have a suggested wording. In the later two cases, we will discuss the areas that someone thinks need more work. That discussion will take place here on the list.

You are right. #4, the 2nd one was supposed to say Canada GENWEB sites of adjacent counties. We actually only have a single county in Idaho bordering on Canada (or any other country). I've fixed it. Thanks for noticing the confusion.
