(**Please forward to all appropriate project lists**) The Bylaws Revision Committee (BRC) has completed a first draft revision of Section 4 of Article X. Local Projects. Section 4. If a Local Coordinator can no longer perform their duties for any reason, (including, but not limited to, abandonment of the site, resignation or dismissal for valid cause), content of the website submitted by contributors shall remain with the website, unless the contributor(s) otherwise request. 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. Roger Swafford BRC - Chairman

Roger and committee, If I have read this draft revision correctly it addresses that materials that the County Coordinator submits to the site must remain with the XXGenWeb site vs. the material submitted by contributors can be retained or removed only with the permission of the contributor. The USGenWeb Project is 7 years old .. County Coordinators come and go. Once a County Coordinator goes and a new County Coordinator is in place does the "retired County Coordinator" then acquire "contributor" status and permission is necessary for their contributions to remain on the XXGenWeb site? Who is responsible for keeping track of who submitted what, to whom, to where, and what role they held when they did so? Any one of us can leave and very unceremoniously take our own and others work with us. While that is unfortunate, it can and perhaps has happened. How does this bylaw revision address that contingency?
