Sherri, I understand what you are saying here, but, don't you think that one of the biggest problems we have within this project is bylaws that are not clear and concise? They can be interpreted several different ways. In this instance - why do we need the second sentence: "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." I believe that National is stepping on states rights, by including this sentence. I also believe that where the National Logo is linked is not the only problem faced here. How about a definition of "Prominent". That has surfaced over and over again as to its meaning. The way I look at it is, if we are going to amend, why not fix the whole problem and be all inclusive. Remove the second sentence on state logos and define prominent, otherwise all we are doing is putting a small bandage on a very large sore. Just my three and a half cents worth.
