Thank you! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dear members of the USGenWeb Project, As you know a special election is being held to fill the positions of National Coordinator and Southwest/South Central County Coordinator Representative. Nominations will be open for the four week period commencing Dec 3, 1998 and ending at midnight CST Dec 31, 1998. Before you nominate someone please check to ascertain that your nominee qualifies according to the bylaws: Article VI Section 9. Nominees for National Coordinator shall have the following qualifications: at least one year (the twelve months immediately preceding an election) of continuous service and current activity as a member in good standing, and eligibility to vote within The USGenWeb Project. Qualifications of nominees for State Coordinator Representative, Local Coordinator Representative, and Special Project Representative are the same with the addition that their service shall have been as a State Coordinator, Local Coordinator, or one of the various positions associated with the Special Projects, respectively. "In good standing" is demonstrated by responding promptly to email, actively supporting researchers' efforts to find information, maintaining their website with appropriate, up-to-date content, and serving as a good example of the guidelines and standards of The USGenWeb Project. You may read this yourself at:http://www.usgenweb.org/official/bylaws.html The nominating committee will receive each nomination, and will make sure the nominated person meets the qualifications outlined in the bylaws for that position. If so, the nominees will be contacted individually and asked if they will accept the nomination. Please make sure you include your nominee's email address. Once a proposed nominee accepts the nomination his or her name will be posted at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilhardi2/nomi.htm In a departure from the last election, because of complaints, the nominating committee will not be posting bios and pictures of the candidates. Each candidate will be responsible for putting up their own campaign/bio page. The nominating committee will place a link to the candidate's page beside their name, as soon as possible after the URL is supplied to the committee. Send your nominations to: nominate@usgenweb.org THE COMMITTEE WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY NOMINATIONS BEFORE DEC. 3, 1998.
