Well, it seems that having more than one VSO in the world is somewhat redundant. Certainly a waste of time to format and submit observations to multiple places - I would rather spend the extra time observing! Yes, each may have their specialties, but a lot of effort is duplicated. The costs of physical facilities, computer hardware, personnel, etc. is inefficient just to do the similar things in slightly different ways. I think it would be wise to head towards one worldwide organization, maybe "IAVSO"? that combines all the existing ones as various branches of specialization into the one.
