shrug-l: Heads Up

[Elebash, Alan]

I see no problem with Lee Hartsfield being president of both SHRUG and
FLURISA, but I do see a conflict if he is the one that leads an effort to
combine the two conferences. 
Rather than combine the two conferences I  would prefer for to get different
professional surveyors that consistently provide accurate, usable data to GIS
professionals to give talks/workshops at the SHRUG conference.

I agree in part

Let anyone who wants to be part of the Shrug Workshop participate. A
SHRUG-FLURISA conference is fine but not a FLURISA-SHRUG Conference. This is
first and foremost a SHRUG event.

However, I see a large conflict of interest in Lee Hartsfield beimng
president of both SHRUG and FLURISA at the same time, especially when they
are in discussion with each other.

I believe he should be required to step down from one of these organizations
before any further discussion takes place.

A "conflist of interest" or a "preception of a conflict of intesrest" is not
in the best interests of either organization.
