Subject: [BOARD] Announcement - Bylaw Amendment Proposal by KSGenWeb


| ******Please Forward to all Project Lists******
|
| The KSGenWeb Project has proposed the following amendment to the USGenWeb
| Bylaws pursuant to Article XVI, Section 3, and has been posted to the
| USGenWeb Project national webpage at:
|
| http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/notice.shtml
|
| and is quoted in it's entirety here:
|
| In compliance with bylaw Article XVI, the KSGenWeb Project requests the
| following proposed amendment to the USGenWeb Bylaws be presented on the
| ballot during our annual voting period July 1, 2007 through July 31, 2007
| for approval by The USGenWeb Project membership.
|
| Proposed Amendments to the USGenWeb Bylaws - February 20, 2007
|
| The State Coordinators represent the smallest segment of the USGenWeb
| Project membership. Their members makeup approximately 5% of the
membership
| but they are allocated over 25% of Advisory Board positions. The State
| Coordinators should not have a larger ratio of representation than the
| Special Projects and Local Coordinators on the Advisory Board.
|
| As the terms of the present positions for regional State Coordinator
| Representatives expire they will be replaced by the new positions of this
| proposal. Three (3) at-large representatives will replace three (3) State
| Coordinator Regional Representatives and one State Coordinator
| Representative elected by all State Coordinators will replace one (1) of
the
| State Coordinator Regional Representative.
|
| With the above as reference the KSGenWeb Project is sponsoring the
following
| amendment to the USGenWeb bylaws.
|
| Amend Article V.
| ARTICLE V. COMPOSITION OF ADVISORY BOARD which reads:
|
| "The Advisory Board membership shall consist of: the National Coordinator,
| four (4) State Coordinator Regional Representatives, eight (8) Local
| Coordinator Regional Representatives, one (1) Special Projects
| representative elected by members of the special projects, and one (1)
| at-large representative. All shall have voting privileges except the
| National Coordinator who shall vote only in the case of a tie. The regions
| from which State Coordinator and Local Coordinator Representatives are
| elected shall be decided by the Advisory Board on an annual basis."
|
| >From the above, strike three (3) State Coordinator Regional
Representative
| positions from the four (4) present State Coordinator Regional
| Representative positions and replace with three (3) at-large
representatives
| positions and one (1) State Coordinator Representative position.
|
| The amended article will read:
|
| ARTICLE V. COMPOSITION OF ADVISORY BOARD
|
| "The Advisory Board membership shall consist of: the National Coordinator
| and four (4) at-large Representatives, elected by all members of the
| USGenWeb Project, one (1) State Coordinator Representative, elected by
State
| Coordinators, eight (8) Local Coordinator Regional Representatives,
elected
| by Local Coordinators, one (1) Special Projects Representative elected by
| members of the Special Projects. All shall have voting privileges except
the
| National Coordinator who shall vote only in the case of a tie. The regions
| from which Local Coordinator Representatives are elected shall be decided
by
| the Advisory Board on an annual basis."
|
| As terms of State Coordinator Regional Representative positions expire
they
| will be replaced with the positions of this amendment. The first two State
| Coordinator Regional Representative positions terms that expire will be
| replaced by the one (1) State Coordinator Representative to be elected by
| all State Coordinators and by one (1) at-large representative. The
remaining
| two (2) State Coordinator Regional Representative positions, upon
expiration
| of their term, will be replaced by two (2) at-large representatives."
|
|
| Any project wishing to co-sponsor this amendment should advise a member of
| the USGenWeb Project Advisory Board so that their name may be included as
a
| co-sponsor. The proposed amendment shall remain posted to the national
| webpage until the annual election.
