Truthfully, I think Pat Lowe, slipped this in on them. As I talked to Tim night before last and he never said there were changes brewing in GA -- and he has always kept me informed if anything was going on.

To: GAGEN-L@rootsweb.com Forwarded by: GAGEN-L@rootsweb.com Hey Y'all! By now you have no doubt read my last note about stepping down as State Coordinator. Again this was for totally the best intentions. I do not want to stand in the way of the Georgia GenWeb Project growing to its full potential. With everyone's blessings, help and understandings, I will continue as RC of the Metro Region, and CC of my 3 counties: Clayton, Fulton, and Habersham. This will allow me to focus more time on these 4 jobs, and allow me to help in any other projects that I am called upon to do. For those of you that do not know... the SC position is a gigantic responsibility and it was handed to me about a year ago. I thought I could handle it. But there ar alot of others who are in a better position than I to lead. Tim Stowell (ASC) will take over as an interim SC until we can hold an election. I will make my self as available as I can to any and all of you, to help in any way that I can. Thank you all for your understanding!

Section 9. Nominees for National Coordinator shall have the following qualifications: at least one year (the twelve months immediately preceding an election) of continuous service and current activity as a member in good standing, and eligibility to vote within The USGenWeb Project. Qualifications of nominees for State Coordinator Representative, Local Coordinator Representative, and Special Project Representative are the same with the addition that their service shall have been as a State Coordinator, Local Coordinator, or one of the various positions associated with the Special Projects, respectively. "In good standing" is demonstrated by responding promptly to email, actively supporting researchers' efforts to find information, maintaining their website with appropriate, up-to-date content, and serving as a good example of the guidelines and standards of The USGenWeb Project. ______________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Dec 1998 10:24:29 -0800 From: "Kay Mason" To: Board-Exec-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199812061827.KAA23823@mail.networkone.net> Subject: [Board-Exec-L] ALList Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT You know..
