[HOT] Great Article in Trajectory Magazine

[Kate Chapman]

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.

Thanks,

-Kate
