ABSTRACT 
During the period 1985—86 the working group has been constituted. In view of the specific 
tasks of the working group, a total of 19 regional sub-working groups has been established to 
cover altogether the entire world, and for each sub-working group a chairman has been or is being 
appointed. In addition, a special questionnaire has been prepared in order to obtain pertinent 
information worldwide. Copies of this questionnaire have been or are being forwarded to all sub 
working group chairmen who have been or are being asked to send additional copies to national 
delegates nominated by the regional sub-working group chairmen. Furthermore, WG newsletters 
have been or are being forwarded to the sub-working group chairmen and other persons inter es- 
ted in Commission VI and ISPRS in general, newsletters which should foster productive activity 
of the WG. Also, instructions have been or are being mailed to the sub-working chairmen, regard- 
ing the compilation and analysis of the data received in each sub-working group region.
