The proposal, and the vote, themselves create "drama." I assert there can be nothing *but* "drama" as the result of this proposal, and the ensuing vote. Of course, if avoiding drama is a key point, the proposal can be withdrawn at any time. > Right now there is contention of ideas as to what the FIG is about and FIG > 3.0 is a proposal to resolve that, as are other proposals. The contention arises from you and Larry (and perhaps others) who want to re-constitute the FIG *in toto* and *in situ*, to conform to a new vision of your own, rather than to incrementally perfect an expression of the existing founding vision. Without the proposal, there is no contention. You and Larry are the ones who have brought the contention here. > It is up to the member projects to decide if they wish the FIG to transition > into FIG 3.0 or not. You, and Larry, and any member projects that agree with you, can "transition into FIG 3.0" right now, by resigning and starting a new group with a new name. Doing so will leave here all those who support the founding vision, to pursue that vision unperturbed. You all, for your part, can pursue your new-and-different vision in your new-and-different group in any way you like. -- Paul M.
