 == Moderator responsibilities  ==
 All, we would like to go ahead and update the Moderator responsibilities based on the Forum thread of&nbsp;[https://www.familysearch.org/learn/forums/en/showthread.php?t=9486 Refining the Moderators role]. We will update this page next week. Please add comments or concerns here or in the forum thread if you are not comfortable with the changes. Thank you! -- [[User:VasquezJL|janellv]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:VasquezJL|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/VasquezJL|contribs]]}} 16:21, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

-==Moderator Community Rules==
+== Moderator Community Rules  ==
 I suggest that we add the following wording to the paragraph on Responsibilities.
 Moderators are expected to abide by the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Policies]], the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Guiding Principles]] and the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Etiquette Guidelines]]. Failure to abide by these community rules may result in the termination of moderator status. See [[Guidelines for Moderator Retention]]<br>
+I will be making other suggestions on other pages to institute a policy on moderator retention

+I further suggest adding this section, probably at the beginning following Responsibilities,
+== Duration of Service  ==
-I will be making other suggestions on other pages to institute a policy on moderator retention
+Moderators are asked to serve for one year at a time. At the end of each year the Moderators will be asked to renew their service. However, consistent with the [[Guidelines for Moderator Retention]] a Moderator may be removed at any time for failure to abide by the community policies.

-I further suggest adding this section, probably at the beginning following Responsibilities,
+== New Moderator Responsibility - Things To Do page ==
-==Duration of Service==
+We would like to propose a new Moderator responsibility that fits right along with their current responsibilities, but just adds something specific to help focus and organize the work better. The responsibility would be to&nbsp;'''create a "Things To Do" page''' for the location that they are responsible for. They would add to that page everything that needs to be done for their locality - links to [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types|Stub pages]], links to [[Special:WantedPages|Wanted pages]], and anything else that needs to happen for the locality to become a great resource to research in that area.

+Please share your thoughts on whether you feel this would be a good addition to the Moderator responsibilities as one of the first things a new moderator would do. Since we no longer have the forums, the discussion will take place here.&nbsp;-- [[User:VasquezJL|janellv]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:VasquezJL|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/VasquezJL|contribs]]}} 17:17, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
