This is the kind of question where I would seek input from members/BOD members, and possibly out-of-state cachers.
We go on the honors system of submitting LCG/CR finds and, other than a bit of “sniping”, it works quite well. I would prefer to police our own state by offering the LCG and CR to WGA members, as exclusivity encourages membership growth, to some extent.
I’m hoping that some of the new members attend the LCG Event to find out more about how the game adds to the quality of the Wisconsin caching experience, as well as keeping the geotrash out of the woods.
As for soliciting out-of-state friends, I was wondering why there ARE out-of-state friends! Is the WGA the “place to belong” for some online cachers? It’s good to see, and something to keep in mind before hitting that ‘Submit’ button on the kneejerk reaction posts! There are the Groundspeak Forums, which I rarely visit, to keep us informed of issues across state lines, too.
An interesting question, that breeds more questions, HP2! And hard to pick pro or con without more information (I don’t like straddling the fence on an issue, but I don’t like to commit to an answer without full knowledge of the finer points!). I’ll think on it some more, and add comments if a light bulb goes on.
