In choosing the Member or group of Members to be entrusted under the Statutes with the 
responsibility for the work of a Commission, the General Assembly shall take into consideration 
all relevant factors, including in particular : 
— the various Members willing to undertake the responsibility, 
the scientific and technical ability available to each Candidate, 
the photogrammetric standing and ability of the persons proposed as Commission President, 
the ability and willingness of each Member Candidate and other organizations in its country 
to support a Commission Board. 
A Technical Commission shall be autonomous in scientific matters but shall cooperate closely 
with the President of the Society in his duty of coordinating the work of the Technical Com- 
missions and the Working Groups. 
The Commission Presidents shall keep the President of the Society and the Council fully and 
promptly informed of all its activities and the progress of its work. 
The Member entrusted with responsibility for a Technical Commission shall give its fullest 
technical and financial support to the Commission Board. 
The Commission shall be composed of 
— the Commission Board, 
— the National Correspondents.

The Commission President shall have the right to invite a limited but sufficient number of 
persons to join the Commission Board as Commission Rapporteur for a particular field of 
interest (of concern to his Commission), in order to assist him in covering that field. He shall 
choose such Rapporteurs, entirely at his own discretion, for the special knowledge or facilities 
they may possess which will enable them to give the assistance he desires. He may invite 
them from any country. They need not be National Correspondents for their own country but 
may perform that duty in addition. 
The main tasks of a Technical Commission shall be:

Congress, 
— to provide initiative in technical and scientific progress, especially by such means assettingup 
Working Groups, arranging international Symposiums, organizing experiments on research, 
— to identify the results of research and development in order to present them for discussion 
at the Congress. 
Before arranging international Symposiums the Commissions shall obtain the consent of the 
Council. Such Symposiums shall be devoted to the preparation for the ensuing Congress or 
to the study in depth of a particular subject within the field of the Commission. 
When the Commission finds that a subject, or a certain problem, or limited group of problems 
need a detailed study, including on occasion trials or experimental research, the Commission 
Board shall be entitled to establish a Working Group provided the majority of its National 
Correspondents and the Council agree thereto. If, in this connection, important divergences 
of opinion should arise within or between Commissions, the Council shall determine the 
course of action. The terms of reference and duration of the Working Group shall be strictly
