Removal of Outdated Logos 

    Members currently using a non-approved or an outdated logo are
    required to remove these images from any websites that they may
    have them residing on. 

Grace Period

    A "grace period" of 14 days starting from the the release date
    of the new logo and implementation of the Guidelines to allow
    members to remove the old logo from any sites that they may have
    it on and replace it with the new logo and recommended text if
    needed. 

    The official release date for the new Logo will be five (5) days
    following the posting of the announcement on hwg-news. 

    Anyone wishing to use the new HWG Public Logo must enroll in the
    HWG Logo Program. 

Compliance 

    After expiration of the "grace period" any member using outdated
    or unapproved HWG logos will receive a formal written request to
    remove the non-compliant logo in and informed of the steps
    necessary to participate in the HWG Logo Program. They will be
    given a specific time period to comply with this request. At the
    end of the time period, if they have not complied they will be
    removed from the Guild.

    on the GB for another term and have been reappointed by the GB.

    been banned from participating in current Guild activities at any
    level) 

    You may nominate yourself, or another member via the form at:

http://www.hwg.org/opcenter/hwginc/nominate.html

    Or you may send email directly to HWG President Bill Spurlock

    The job description varies from time to time and each individual
    ends up contributing different things and different amounts of
    time to the GB.  We are in transition of trying to come up with a
    way to fund this organization such that we can maintain our
    current services and begin to expand into better organized and
    better supported services in the future. 

    If you have a desire to see HWG expand and continue to grow as
    the best resource for web authors on the 'net - then think about
    contributing at the highest level by helping to set policy and
    direction.
