Hello, Wild Bunch. The Advisory Board is voting on whether to adopt a new logo. Many people on the Southwest e-mail list have been discussing the issues. Anyone who is interested may join the list. The National Coordinator has announced a contest to design a new logo, but many people do not want a new logo. Others are concerned that we not be forced to use a new logo. Some are stating that we shouldn't have more than one. Since there has also been discussion about enforcing the use of the logo on the home page of our Web sites, I wanted you to have the opportunity to respond to Bettie Wood, one of our Southwest Representatives with your opinion. Her e-mail address is listed in the header below: nana321@earthlink.net. E-mail addresses for other members on the AB are located at: http://www.usgenweb.com/about/whoswho.html. Express your opinions to any and all of these folks.

Hi Susan, Yes several suggestions come to mind but so much of it would be conjecture. I think if we had more facts we could help with suggestions. You can write to me privately if you'd like.

A CC from another state has been trying to get a couple to remove a listing of a cemetery survey that they took from her site. It was posted with no credit given the source and the person who transcribed it is very upset. She has written them asking that it be removed and our NC didn't see anything amiss when he checked it out. Recently, the man responded that his wife was tragically killed in an auto accident and the CC should just leave it alone. The way they interpreted the copyright statement on the CC's Web site meant that they could use it. Legal recourse doesn't seem to be an option. Suggestions?
