i The Publications Policy Committee of ISPRS should carefully consider 
and evaluate the proposals presented in this paper. 
2. The Publications Policy Committee should formulate in specific terms 
those proposals it endorses or any other approved proposals developed in 
considering these recommendations, and present these formulations to 
the council. 
3. | ISPRS Council should consider the proposals presented by the 
Publications Policy Committee, approve those proposals it deems 
acceptable, and follow with appropriate action. 
No one would claim that the proposed changes can be effected merely by 
adopting a policy. It will require hard work and an extended time frame. But if 
the society begins to install a logical publications policy now, the pieces should all 
be in place by long before the year 2000.
