Subject: [alhn-membership-voting] Disciplinary Report: Director Eveline Crocker

From: ALHN,Inc. Board of Directors

1. During the months of July and August, 2000, the ALHN
Board of Directors received complaints against Director
Eveline Crocker, alleging that she had (a) on a national
ALHN mailing list, engaged in personal attacks and
forwarded private emails; and (b) in her capacity as the
ALHN WebRing Masterinterfered in state matters .

2. In accordance with the Idaho Act, Robert's Rules of
Order and the Articles, Bylaws and Policies of the
American Local History Network, Inc., the Board:

A. Notified Ms. Crocker of the complaints;

B. Investigated each complaint thoroughly, including
documentation provided by the complainants and Ms.
Crocker.

C. Gave timely notice to Ms. Crocker that the Board
would meet in executive session on this matter on
08/07/2000 following the public board meeting.

3. Ms. Crocker notified the Board by email about one hour
before the public meeting was to commence that she would
not be in attendance at either meeting due to illness.
Ms. Crocker also provided the Board with her defense of
her position at this time. All other directors were in
attendance. Following further discussion and study, the
Board determined that the complaints were valid, and
unanimously resolved to (a) remove Ms. Crocker as
Treasurer and WebRing Master; (b) place her on "read-only"
status on the ALHN webmaster's list for a period of 30
days, and on "moderated" status for the next 30 days; and
(c) notify her of the Board's actions, including that she
turn over the passwords to the ALHN WebRing sites.

4. In accordance with Robert's Rules of Order, the specific
complaints, correspondence and meeting records shall be
sealed.

5. In accordance with the Bylaws, the Treasurer's position
will be filled by a directors' election at the next
Board Meeting, and the WebRing Master's position will be
filled by a membership election (to be scheduled).

Because of the membership vote to determine whether to
remove Ms. Crocker without cause, the Board determined not
to release the above information until after the polls had
closed to avoid any possible appearance of attempting to
influence votes.

Sincerely,

Kathy Leigh, ALHN President
on behalf of the ALHN Board of Directors
