(**Please forward to all appropriate project lists**) First I wish to thank everyone who has sent comments and suggestions regarding the latest revision draft. I'm confident that some rewording and grammar changes will be made during final review. Our project consists of volunteers with a common purpose. To provide "free access" information. Project members are those who maintain a website as a component part of the project or a XXGenWeb project, and abides by the basic requirements for those websites, such as the display of the logo. It follows then that when the bylaws refer to websites it means those which are associated with The USGenWeb Project. It has been commonly accepted that whenever a change in CC's (Local Coordinators) occurs, material contributed to the website remains with the associated website (regardless of where hosted). The task of being a CC is to provide the means of "free access" to those materials on behalf of the project and to add to those materials whenever possible. Therefore, the CC (Local Coordinator) is also a contributor. It is reasonable to expect that all contributions to a project website remain part of the website regardless of who the coordinator is or where the site is hosted. The draft revision contains "shall remain with the website, unless the contributor(s) otherwise request." Very often contributors can't be contacted to obtain permission to continue use or to move to another host. Therefore all contributions should be considered as for permanent use by The USGenWeb Project as long as the material is available for "free access". The purpose of the project and the spirit of volunteerism in providing free access material is best served by XXGenWeb county websites which continue to grow and remain intact. Members who depart are entitled to keep copies of their own work and are expected to provide copies for continued use by the project. Roger
