And how do we do that? That's like saying "if we think state XX would abuse it, we won't let them do it...". That's really out of line for anyone to do. Whatever is allowable should be an all or nothing deal. After all, who would judge the "acceptability" of it? Someone made an excellent point (sorry I can't remember who). How does one receive money that was donated to the cause? Do they have to show a receipt for funds spent and hand over rights to that info? Or can that person get paid for money they've spent and when they don't want to play with USGW anymore, they take the info with them? Are they going to be able to be paid for time they've spent transcribing? If so, I'm sure IA will have a waiting list for their counties! --Heather ----- Original Message ----- From: seek4fam@earthlink.net Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2003 14:54:04 -0400 (GMT-04:00) To: STATE-COORD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [STATE-COORD] Soliciting Funds > I agree - what IAGenWeb is doing does not appear to be a violation of the bylaws.
