-------- Original Message -------- From: Bob Bamford <essxbook@citrus.infi.net> Subject: [STATE-COORD-L] National Coordinator Annoucement Resent-From: STATE-COORD-L@rootsweb.com To: STATE-COORD-L@rootsweb.com In as much as the SC list is the only way to reach all volunteers, I would appreciate your passing this on to your CCs, TCs and any other interested parties in your states. Thank you for your cooperation. Bob ____________________________________ Hi, Call me a 90 day wonder, lame duck or whatever. I will be your NC until replaced by a newly elected NC in approximately 90 days. I would like to begin by telling you that I have absolutely no intention of running for the office of USGenWeb National Coordinator. Therefore any decisions I make will not be politically motivated. In my view the National Advisory Board MAKES the rules, policies and procedures. In short the USGenWeb Project is governed by YOUR elected board whose duty it is to represent their respective constituencies consistent with the best interests of the project as a whole. I see the USGenWeb Project National Coordinator as the person who OPERATES the project consistent with the policies established by the National Advisory Board. The volunteers on the National Advisory Board have a number of tasks ahead of them and some (an NC election for example) need to be addressed immediately. For your information, below is a list (not necessarily prioritized or complete) of the things we will be addressing over the coming days. 1. Temporary Replacement of SW/SC CC Rep 2. Election of NC 3. Establishment of a Grievance Procedure 4. Establishment of a By-Laws Review Committee 5. Selection of a Board Secretary There are many other issues we will be confronting in the coming weeks and we trust that we will receive your support and cooperation. We, like you, are volunteers. We are not here for the glory but, like you, to help the genealogical community, let's show that community the USGenWeb Project's solidarity of purpose.
