As per Article XVI. B of the USGenWeb Project bylaws, the WVGenWeb Project, with the support of the majority of the WVGenWeb CCs, sponsors the following amendment to the USGenWeb Bylaws: Currently ARTICLE IX. A. reads: IX. GUIDELINES/STANDARDS FOR WEBSITES/MEMBERS A. All websites shall include prominent display of The USGenWeb Project logo on the home page. A state project logo may be required depending on the guidelines/standards in effect for that state. The corrected proposed change to read: IX. GUIDELINES/STANDARDS FOR WEBSITES/MEMBERS A. All websites shall include prominent display of The USGenWeb Project logo on the home page. If linked, this logo may only be linked to the USGenWeb National site. A state project logo may be required depending on the guidelines/standards in effect for that state. If linked, a state project logo may only be linked to the appropriate state site. Please post this in the proper locations so that other states will have a chance to cosponsor this bylaws change. Les Shockey SC WVGenWeb Article XVI. B. states that for a bylaws amendment to be placed on the ballot during the annual election there must be 5 co-sponsors (of which WV counts as one) of the proposed change. You will find the proposed amendment at http://usgenweb.org/volunteers/notice.shtml Any state that wants to join WVGenWeb in co-sponsoring this amendment, please notify your regional AB representatives, Tina Vickery as RAL or myself as NC and we'll get your state listed as co-sponsor.

Sherri, Thank you for handling this as a bylaw amendment. It would seem appropriate to cover all the bases with this proposal (except, of course, the dreaded "prominent" issue). The current proposed language does not say specifically *which* logo. The term, homepage, can be confusing. Suggested change: >All websites shall include prominent display of an official logo of >The USGenWeb Project >on the entry page. The proper form of the term website is Web site, but I'm not going to argue that point. Web is a proper noun and a modifier of the word, site. Oh, nevermind... :-) Vivian Price Saffold State Coordinator The GAGenWeb Project At 07:42 PM 1/14/2010, you wrote: >As per Article XVI.
