ISPRS
2000
news from Technical Commissions, keynote addresses at
ISPRS and related meetings, news of significant technical
developments, book reviews, reports of international
organisations with which ISPRS is collaborating and the
ISPRS Annual Report. The Annual Report is published in
the March issue each year and is a significant contribution
to providing members with information about the current
developments in the sciences and technologies of interest
to ISPRS. A regular feature in ISPRS Highlights is the Cal-
endar of events, which is also displayed on the Home Page,
giving a list of conferences and meetings in the areas of
interest of ISPRS. Approximately 316 such conferences
were included in the Calendar over the four years, of which
32 were approved by Council for sponsorship or co-spon-
sored by ISPRS. A special vote of thanks goes to the Pres-
ident Lawrence Fritz for maintaining the Calendar of events.
In order to improve the distribution of ISPRS Highlights,
Members have been asked to provide addresses of indi-
viduals who should receive copies of ISPRS Highlights
directly from the Publisher. These addresses are currently
being received and will be forwarded to the publisher for
compilation of the address database. A separate report
will be given by the Editor-in-Chief of ISPRS Highlights, Dr
Lucas Janssen.
The ISPRS Journal has been published by Elsevier Sci-
ence on a bi-monthly basis, under the contract that was
signed in late 1996 with Editor-in-Chief Mr David Tait. Dr
Emmanuel Baltsavias assumed the position of Editor-in-
Chief in mid-1997. A new contract with Elsevier Science
has recently been signed, that provides ISPRS with an
improved quality Journal. An important development with
the Journal has been the introduction of the Heleva Award
for the best paper over the four year period, the first of
which has been awarded at this Congress. A separate
report will be given on the Journal by Dr Baltsavias.

The International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote
Sensing comprises published papers presented at ISPRS
Congresses, Symposia and, more recently, other ISPRS-
sponsored events. A new contract was signed in 1996
between ISPRS and RICS Books in the UK for the post-con-
ference sale of Archives volumes. This arrangement has
proved to be working well. Included in the guidelines in the
Orange Book is the requirement that, in future, the proceeds
from the post-conference sales of Archives volumes will be
paid to ISPRS. The ITC in The Netherlands is also a reposi-
tory for the Archives. The number of new Volumes of the
Archives over the period 1996-2000 is 24, as listed in Table
4. Recently, Council approved revisions to the Guidelines for
publication: Guidelines for Publication and Review of The
International Archives of Photogrammetry & Remote Sens-
ing, that aim at raising the quality of volumes in the Archives.
Manual of Operation of ISPRS Technical Commissions and
Working Groups Council Meetings (Orange Book) is a new
publication which provides Technical Commission Presi-
dents and Working Group Chairs and Co-Chairs with full
details of the operation of ISPRS Technical Commissions.
It includes expanded details of the Guidelines for Techni-
cal Commission Presidents and Working Group Chairs and
Co-Chairs, as well as many of the Guidelines affecting the
operation of the Technical Commissions, such as organi-
sation of Symposia, publication of the Archives, Web
Pages, etc. All ISPRS Guidelines have been reviewed and
revised where required. The full list of ISPRS Guidelines is
given in Table 5.
