I agree with the 30 day time limit for contacting a cc. I have read this suggested policy and the comments that it has spawned. As you can see by the date, I'm almost beyond my 30 days just to respond! But it is important to consider that the 30 days starts when the state coordinator begins to try to contact the cc. The assumption is that a significant amount of time has already passed since the cc has contributed to any discussion or updated their county site. Also, this original message really didn't discuss any obligation the cc would have to inform people when they will be "out of pocket" for a time. I would hate to see this become a requirement. I travel extensively and I'm not able to sign on and update everyone on my whereabouts. We probably weren't considering making this a requirement (someone just mentioned it in their response comments), but lets not go there please.
