The Bylaws Revision Committee (BRC) has completed a first draft revision of Section 4 of Article X. Local Projects. Section 4. If a Local Coordinator can no longer perform their duties for any reason, (including, but not limited to, abandonment of the site, resignation or dismissal for valid cause), content of the website submitted by contributors shall remain with the website, unless the contributor(s) otherwise request. All revision drafts may be viewed at http://home.mchsi.com/~sagitta56/ Members are encouraged to send comments or questions related to this or other revision drafts. Roger Swafford BRC - Chairman ==================================== The Discuss list, the Wisconsin state list have exploded today (7/29) regarding this issue. Some folks (the revisionists and some others) seem to think that anything you contribute to your county site - that when you leave this Project, that you must leave your work as part of the site. While you can take a copy with you - these folks are saying you MUST leave a copy with the USGenWeb Project. The policy thus far has been that when a person leaves they are free to take the items they have contributed to the site, if they so desire - while leaving the queries or other material contributed by others to the site. Also the policy thus far has been that if you adopt x site that if the former coordinator gives their site and its entire contents to the Project that the new coordinator would leave the previous person's work - modify the contact information, but leave the data as is. I do not support the proposed policy change. Tim
