To all SCs - A reminder according to the Election Committee Guidelines C. Eligibility of voters A requirement that one be a member for at least 30 days prior to the start of an election is acceptable purely on an administrative basis. State-level or Special Project-level voting restrictions shall not affect a member's right to vote in any national level election. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgwelections/guidelines.html This means that while the EC will always make Email address corrections as necessary, no members will be added to or removed from the national voter list after May 31, 2003. If you have recently added or removed a volunteer, please immediately contact the EC. Also, if your state has internal guidelines that would render some volunteers ineligible to vote in state elections, please be sure that those volunteers were included in the voter list sent to the EC. That list would include ASC, CC, Co-CC, ACC, LC, and TC positions. We don't want to leave anyone out. :-) Thanks! Ellen Pack Chair, EC

Many of the KSGenWeb sites will be unavailable beginning Saturday, May 31st due to network upgrading work which involves changing the IP addresses of web servers as well as the IP addresses of the DNS (Domain Name Server) entries for the web sites. During the downtime period users won't be able to view sites. The availability of the site will depend on a user's local Internet Service Provider updating their domain information, which can vary from 24 hours to 72 hours. The majority of ISPs should have the correct information to allow users access to the site by Sunday, June 1st. Tom & Carolyn Ward KSGenWeb State Coordinators
