Greetings, A new (political?) mailing list has been formed for the nation's CCs. This seemingly will take the place of the old USGENWEB-ALL list that is now carefully watched for content. Here is the letter that I received today. Perhaps you also received it. Fred **** Hello, a special announcement to all county coordinators of The USGenWeb Project. This message is to inform you of a new email list, USGW-CC-L, for use by all county coordinators eligible to vote in the USGW elections. The list is a closed list that is restricted to USGW county coordinators. While there are several lists available for USGW members there have been none dedicated and restricted to the use of the county coordinators on a national basis. The 1900 plus county coordinators comprise the productive element of the USGW project and as such need, and are entitled to, their own list to communicate with one another, to share ideas, express opinions and to be kept abreast of the happenings within the organization. This list has been established for that purpose. The USGW-CC-L will be a list for the discussion of the USGW project in all of its manifestations and for informing county coordinators of happenings within the organization. The purpose of this list is to share knowledge with other list members. Ideally this will include advise, suggestions and solutions offered to those posting queries. Hopefully, members of the list will support each other in their county endeavors, offer each other new ideas, methods and approaches, and enhance each others' efforts to provide free online information. Membership is composed of the county coordinators within USGW who are eligible to vote. We have endeavored to send every county coordinator a copy of this invitation, if you are aware of any coordinator that did not receive this message, please inform us so we can correct the over site. If you received more than one message please forgive us our mistake. To join, send a message to <Majordomo@rootsquest.com> and in the message body type subscribe USGW-CC-L. If you desire the digest mode type subscribe USGW-CC-L-DIGEST. If you use a signature file, please be sure it is turned off prior to sending your message. Because this is to be a closed list, each request must be checked against a list of qualified persons. To prevent delay it is best that you subscribe using the same email address to which this message was addressed. We look forward to your participation and wish you the best with your own county pages. Hopefully this list will be a useful to you in developing and maintaining your web sites as well as keeping you abreast of the various happenings within the organization.
