(meteorobs) Is NAMN and the ALPO Meteor Section needed?
Can anyone tell me why that either NAMN and the ALPO Meteor section are now
needed or should exist? Initially NAMN was created to fill the void created
by an inactive AMS(American Meteor Society). ALPO's meteor section channels
everything to AMS and also ultimately to the IMO(International Meteor
Organization). So does NAMN. The person tied to ALPO's meteor section (Robert
Lunsford) are also officers of AMS and IMO. The person running NAMN (Mark
Davis) is also an officer of AMS in which he channels all observing data to
IMO. Is there anything different that NAMN and the ALPO meteor section is
doing that is not being done or could be done thru one organization such as
AMS? Now that AMS has gotten their act together, why all the need for
redundancy in the U.S. meteor observing groups? Mark and Bob can no doubt
lighten some of their redundant work load by a little streamlining.
