I, too, intend to resign from the RGS/IBG, together with David Gilbert
and others.
I've felt very torn over this issue, and do see the need for a
national geographical organization to tackle issues such as reducing
the importance of geography in school teaching and the like. However,
it is ultimately unacceptable that this organization is the RGS (w/
the IBG), sponsored by Shell. End of story.
For those staying on and looking to change the organization from
within, I look forward to the day when I feel I can rejoin.
