President Solaini advanced to Agenda Item 16 so that new Members would be permitted to vote. The 
Secretary-General presented the credentials for membership of Ireland (Category 3) and Greece (Category 2),

First Vice-President Bachmann presented (Agenda Item 2) the report on the proposed reorganization of the 
Technical Commissions. President Solaini asked for a vote of **yes"' or *no"' inasmuch as the proposal had 
been corrected several times during the past three years. The vote was 26 to 2 in favour of acceptance. 
Agenda Item 3. Secretary-General Tewinkel presented a brief report. LS.P. now consists of 58 members. Two 
members asked that their categories be changed from 2 to 3: Czechoslovakia and Roumania. Mr. Tewinkel 
recommended to President Solaini that the General Assembly approve the changes; approval was granted. 
As Agenda Item 4, Congress Director Gamble reported on the progress of the Congress. The registration is

REPORT OF THE COMMISSION APPOINTED AT THE LAUSANNE CONGRESS 
TO STUDY THE POSSIBILITIES OF ESTABLISHING A PERMANENT FILE 
OF DOCUMENTS OF. THE I.S.P. 
At a delegates meeting the question was raised whether the documents which are of some value for the history 
of the LS.P. should be collected or registered in such a way that they can always and at any time be consulted. 
As a result of the discussion the president proposed to appoint a small commission with the task to study the 
problem and to prepare a proposal and to present this for further consideration to the Board of the LS.P. The 
commission consisted of three former presidents of the I.S.P.: 
Dr. ing. h.c. H. Hàrry 
Eng. Dr. A. Paes Clemente 
Prof. Dr. h.c. ir. W. Schermerhorn 
By means of correspondence the members came unanimously to the following conclusions: 
1) Only those documents should be collected which are of value for the study of the history f LS.P. and 
which so far have not been published in the International Archives of Photogrammetry. 
2) Each outgoing council should, after selection according to the rules of point 1, transfer the valuable 
documents produced during its period to a central office with two copies of a list, to be signed by the 
sender and by the recipient. 
3) The subdivision of the files can be made according to the circumstances of each period. The commission 
proposes for the time being the following categories for documents not published in the Archives: 
1) Records and documents about meetings of the Delegates and the General Assembly. 
2) Correspondence regarding the system of the technical commissions. 
3) Correspondence about finances. 
4) Records of the meetings of the technical commissions regarding resolutions, etc., separately for 
each of the commissions.
