I think you're being a bit too tolerant here, no one wants CRTs
anymore, best to get rid of them (properly) ASAP. Okay, I am
exaggerating, for enormous screens there are people who like them (in
fact, I still use a nice big CRT at work) but I think the policy
should be "no CRTs" and we can make an exception if we see some
beautiful monster. P3s also too old.

I'm sure there are advantages to having the LUG under the wing of
HOSEF, and the only disadvantages I see are that the board may have
other things on their mind. I hope that could be solved by giving the
LUG volunteers a set of reasonable constraints and let them handle
themselves. But I'm not a lawyer, there may be legal issues. Certainly
the LUG would support the educational aspect of HOSEF's mission.
