The USGenWeb Election
Committee respectfully submits the following 2003 4rd Quarter Report.
October 2003 -
October 6 - A slate of
new EC volunteers was submitted to the NC, for placement on the AB agenda.
An adjusted slate was later submitted, and accepted. On 13 October new
EC members Deb Haines, Nola Duffy, and Greta Thompson were welcomed to
the Committee. New members Tina Vickery, Marcia Kuel, and R. Marie Mickalunas
were welcomed on October 24, the delay due to their participation as voters
or candidates in a WIGenWeb SC Election being conducted by the EC during
that period. Tina Vickery was elected WIGenWeb SC.
October 12 - With the
RW Lists2 server down for an indefinite period, the EC accepted the generous
offer of Holly Timm to use the old ESC List on pairlist.net. Holly was
unsubbed, and the EC Chair took over as list admin. This closed and private
list was used until Lists2 was operational again. The ESC List was returned
to Holly, with thanks from the EC.
October 16 - A list of
Recommended Changes to the EC Procedures was presented to the AB for consideration.
The EC Chair accepted the invitation of the NC to participate on the Board
List in the discussions. The changes were eventually authorized by the
AB. Preparations were begun to implement the new procedures, including
the development of a new db and system with the technical assistance of
Larry Stephens.

Bettie Wood announced to the EC her intent to voluntarily resign from the
committee on 31 December, due to her service as an AB Rep.
