Hi All, I declined the interview because of the intelligence nature of the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation(USGIF). As a humanitarian focused organization I did not think it was appropriate to be interviewed by them. Each organization has to make their own decisions on the line of what is appropriate, but I felt based on previous statements by volunteers and voting members related to both the US Government, intelligence and the United States in general that we could not respond to this interview request.
I'm more than happy to work with the communications working group to make these guidelines more clear.
