[Talk-us] US Chapter Mission Statement

[Kate Chapman]

Richard,

I have been giving both points 1 and 2 though for a while.  When we first
started discussing a U.S. Chapter I was unsure about if it should be U.S.
based or those interested in mapping the U.S. The only hesitance I have on
"an organization of US based mappers" is I think there might be situations
where people are interested in mapping the U.S. but aren't based here.
 Maybe that isn't the point of the Chapter, but I could see for example U.S.
based people being interested in mapping international locations as the
humanitarian mappers do and want to join the respective chapters of those
countries.

I'm more inclined that the goal be those devoted to mapping the U.S. rather
than specifically those that are U.S. based.

Thanks,

Kate Chapman
