COGO Exists!

The new organization of geo organizations, Coalition of Geospatial Organizations (COGO) voted itself into existence at a meeting held here in San Diego. The news comes via the NSGIC blog, via BlinkGeo and its "feed blend." Hopefully, the new organization will have its own communications solution in the coming weeks.

The officers are:

Chair: Cy Smith (NSGIC)
Chair-Elect: Curt Sumner (ACSM)
Secretary: George Donatello (IAAO) - International Association of Assessing Officers

The vote confirms that acclamation is required for actions to proceed that is, everyone must vote yes. "COGO shall undertake legal or advocacy action only through unanimous agreement of all of the Delegates in accordance with its purposes on behalf of the Member Organizations." There was some skepticism about that at last night's NGAC meeting. We'll have to see how that works out.
