This is something I have an opinion on.... I have a problem with specifying that logos must be visible without scrolling. I think that you can display logos appropriately without making them the first thing you see when you go to a page -- it depends on the layout and design of the page. If you have to go searching for the logo, then there's a problem. If it's easily spotted, then what's the problem? My page does not display the logos in the top half -- the first thing you see when you come to the page is the navigation and information about the county -- but the logos and links back are certainly easy to find. People don't want to have to go looking for information, they want it right in front of their faces. Everything I've read on web design says make the pages short, make them simple. Don't bury the important stuff a half dozen clicks into the site, get it right up front. Why should a researcher have to scroll past a bunch of logos to get to the meat of the page? Are we saying that the logos are more important than anything else? Personally, I don't think so, and I have a funny feeling that our page visitors won't think so, either. This kind of requirement feels uncomfortably to me like a USGW ego trip rather than anything that will actually be of benefit to researchers.

(**Please forward to all appropriate project lists**) The Bylaws Revision Committee (BRC) has completed a first draft revision for Section 1 of Article VIII Guidelines/Standards for Websites/Members. Section 1. All USGenWeb web sites shall display an official USGenWeb logo prominently, on the home or index page, in such away that the entire image is visible without scrolling down on a standard browser screen. The USGenWeb logo used shall be at least 100 pixels by 100 pixels in size. 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. A FAQ section has been added to the committee website. The BRC has two vacancies, interested members please contact the Chairman or the National Coordinator. Roger Swafford BRC - Chairman

Based on the information in the archives and the votes taken by the AB, Mr. Oliver has never inspired confidence in me. We have had idiots in the past who suggested we scrap the By-Laws and the Offices of the USGWP and let anarchy reign. Anyone who even suggests that the USGWP be dismantled is certainly not a friend of genealogists. As for secret proceedings, that is the most fascist-leaning suggestion I have ever heard. Whether the National organization chooses to follow the dissidents, traitors and troublemakers, we'll just have to wait and see. As for me, the NCGenWeb Project has no desire to cede its resources to the likes of NCRoots, USGenNet, AHGP, ALHN or any of the other entities who chafe because they have not been able to achieve what the USGWP has. Whatever Mr. Oliver suggests, please put a big bold NO next my vote. Derick S.

I agree, as well. If there are discussions held here, the CCs can at least follow along, and contact their SC with suggestions. I would look forward to project-wide input. There are a lot of good people in this project, with a lot of good ideas. I also agree there is no need for a motion. Bill, if you would like to see a discussion about the future structure of USGW, among the SCs, then just begin it now. I'll be happy to forward a note to the MS CCs informing them that the discussion is taking place.

I agree --- all of the people to be subbed to the new secret list are already subbed here. Whatever discussions Bill thinks should be carried out can be carried out here. I will not be a party to a secret negotiation that affects us all. This list is closed, but it is archived and everyone can read the Archives. Hold you discussion here. There is no need for that AB motion. --- Linda Lewis <cityslic@ix.netcom.com> wrote: > This is a ridiculous motion.

This is a ridiculous motion. Make it private??? USGenWeb should be open, no secrets. I understand that the motion was from Bill Oliver, who is very used to *PRIVATE* lists and secret goings-on behind everyone's backs. If you're not ashamed of your discussions, keep them open. I will not be part of private discussions that involve the whole of the Project. The USGenWeb Archives is not private. Our volunteer lists are public. The only list that is not searchable is our committee list, which is a management list, and advice list, not a planning list. vagen-l is searchable, and has been since 1996. I vote NO on this list, but if there is one, count me out as VAGenWeb ASC. Linda "David W.

Announcing that KyGenWeb has a new state coordinator. After 6 1/2 years I decided earlier this month to hang it up and Kentucky held it's first election last week. Sherri Hall, known by many of you as the Ky Archives File Manager was elected and takes office May 1. List admin please sub Sherri Hall, <ldrbelties@earthlink.net> to the list and remove me effective 12:01 am May 1. It's been a great ride. I'll still be around with my county and other projects so will see some of you around in the future. ;-) Thanks, nt Hopkins Co, Ky: http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyhopkin

Hello Richard, It would be for a two week period only, for the purpose mentioned in the motion, and it would keep the roar down to a minimum until time to open it up project-wide. Plus, probably, there would be some discussion to which so far the AB has been held to a strict "confidential" level.

Forwarded with permission. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 18:53:47 -0500 From: Linda Haas Davenport <lhaasdav@cox.net> Reply-To: OK-IT-L@rootsweb.com To: OK-IT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [OK-Coordinators] Motion before the AB Resent-Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 18:01:04 -0600 Resent-From: OK-IT-L@rootsweb.com Today Bill Oliver posted a motion on Board-L that can effect the entire Project. Motion: "I move that the NC, subscribe all the SCs and ASCs of the USGenWeb Project and the AB members, to a private email list, for the purpose of discussing and deciding the future of the Project. The one item on the agenda to be - whether to continue in the present form, a revised form, or disband the National Organization. Further, that the discussion and decisions be limited to two weeks, at which time that decision be put to a vote of the eligible voters of the Project. Further, that the EC be instructed to prepare for the said referendum" ---- Although Bill does say that the decision shall be put to the vote of the members - I am strongly opposed to this motion. Something of this magnitude should not be decided by the AB and SC/ASCs and certainly not in private. I am a CC of this Project and I feel that the CCs have the right to some say so in this decision and well before it comes to a Yes/No vote on a decision made in private. There has long been an underground movement to have the Project return to its beginnings with only a web master in charge of the National site and each SC in complete control of their State. The recent situation with the states of GA and NC point up the need for a National Organization - although perhaps a bit different than what we have. But none-the-less this is NOT something that should be decided by a tiny percentage of this Project. I strongly urge you to not only let your own SC know your thoughts on this but to also write to your AB Representative.
