shrug-l: Heads Up

[Joe Noble]

I think Lee would do a fine job serving as president of both.  I have known Lee for a long time and if anything he is fair and impartial.  If he can find the time, it would be beneficial to both organizations.

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.
