Cheryl makes good sense. A USGW logo / link should only go to the main USGW Site / page. A County [with the State logo] should link back to it's main State page How hard can this be? Why the fuss? Who [a CC with a modicum of expertise] would do otherwise? Martha

Martha exactly, why all the fuss the USGenWeb logo should link to www.usgenweb.org only. However it has been discovered that some member/members have used the logo to link to sites other than www.usgenweb.org . So the amendment addresses this issue.

There are those CCs out there right now linking the USGenWeb logo to sites that are not even a part of the USGenWeb and don't reflect well on the USGenWeb. With nothing in the bylaws about what the logo can be linked to, there's not really anything that we can do if the State Coordinator won't deal with the situation even when it's reported to them. My thought was that it should be sufficient to have the definition of what the logo can be linked to as a Standard Rule, but if you've been following the discussion on the charge for the Guidelines Committee, you'd have seen the outcries that we can't make this a requirement without the membership voting on it. Personally, I don't see the difference in the change to the CC Guidelines document last year that required that the name and contact info of a CC must be on the site and specifying that the logo can only be linked back to the USGenWeb National site. Mind you, the comments in the last paragraph above are my comments as a SC and CC, not indicative of the AB's position.
