So why were the links to both census projects removed from the main USGenWeb page, and why wasn't there some discussion of it in public? David David W.

Hello David Speaking as the CC Rep for NW/Plains... I can tell you that the Exec. List has proven itself an important part of the AB's effectiveness. We have resolved several "important" grievances without placing undo stress/embrassment on the people involved. Not everyone (probably none) in those grievances were totally happy with our compromises but those compromises worked and we still have terrific CC's working for the project and great SC's learning how to be better leaders... So the exec. list works... extremely well that way... As for the current issue... I am not, at this moment, able to discuss it... But if Jan's proposed motion is presented to list, I will be glad to share my opinions at that time <grin> Respectfully Darilee Bednar "David W.

Hmm, but you could as easily turn that question around -- why should there have ever been links to the census projects on the USGW main page? Neither is recognized as a special project of the USGW Project. Useful, yes, but despite the use of the project name, neither is part of the project. The only link on the front page now is to the census image portion of the Archives, which *is* recognized by the USGW Project. It makes more sense to me to have removed the links. Why should be main USGW page link to groups that aren't actually associated with our project? There's no link on the main page for the Family Group Sheet project, which is working to be accepted as an official project within the USGWP. Why should the unofficial census projects get a link?
