[Snowball] Draft Snowball Group Guidelines

[Jeramy Ross]

All,

Here are some draft participation guidelines I pulled together from digging
through past group emails.  Please look them over, provide comments,
additions, etc.  Once we agree one the final set of guidelines, we can put
them in a text file to be printed up and sent in the snowball with the
mailing list.

Thanks and 73,
Jeramy W5XTL

Participation in the Lloyd Godsey Memorial Snowball Group is largely
governed by the honor
system.

The following are the suggested guidelines to follow when participating in
the Lloyd Godsey Memorial Snowball Group in an attempt to make it both be
fair
to all and run as smoothly as possible:

1)  Participants will notify the group when they have received the snowball.

2)  Participants will take no more than 3-4 days to dig through the
snowball, take what they want/need from the snowball, place what they want
into the
snowball, and mail the snowball out to the next participant.

3)  If, for any reason, the participant will require more than 3-4 days to
have the
snowball in their possession, the participant will email the group and the
next participant
notifying them of the delay and providing an estimated length of the delay.

4)  Participants will email the group and the next participant to receive
the snowball when they mail the snowball out to them along with an
estimated date of
arrival so that the next participant will be able to anticipate receiving
the snowball.

5)

a) Participants who will be unable to receive the snowball at their QTH for
any reason
(such as going on vacation, etc.), will notify the group and the
participant who will be
mailing the snowball to them so that the snowball can be diverted to
another participant.

b) When a participant who has been unable to receive the snowball is once
again able to
participate, they will notify the group, and they will be next to receive
the snowball.
