Thank you Tim for clarifying. I apologize for taking your personal beliefs (no rules) as part of your platform and thinking that Lynn's response on Feb 11 (see below) was exactly what you intended added to your note of Feb 14 (see below Lynn's) to which Kathy Hines agreed with not having more rules . That thread was titled ByLaws. <Tim, You've got my vote! I don't want to deal with more by-Laws, rules, regulations or guidelines. I am rapidly becoming burned out with all these emails as it is. Lynn Brandvold Pennington and Red Lake Counties> <Linda, Actually I am not in favor of creating more rules for coordinators to follow. The national bylaws are sufficient and have been for the nearly 19 years of our existence. Some would say, what would we do if the leadership disappears again? We could do just as was done this time, ask national for assistance. Perhaps more regular roll calls than our previous yearly roll call would alert the members to a problem sooner - ie a roll call instituted by the SC/ASC team rather than everyone posting on list 'here' or 'present'. Since it seems most coordinators are adults, saying to them, that our state logo needs to be at the top of the main page of a county site and if linked, linked to the state page - there is really no reason to make a rule that says do this or else. Most people are pleasant to work with, so why complicate their lives with more rules unless those who want the rules seek to control other people's creativity? That said, I would not stand in the way of those who like to have more rules, to serve some purpose that eludes me. Tim> I appreciate the "will of the people" attitude. Perhaps you can see from these two emails why I thought what I did?
