1. In future Member Reports shall consist of two parts: 
- an ISPRS Questionnaire for electronic data processing. 
At least a well defined part of it should be filled in by all Members obligatorily and quadrennially. 
- a descriptive part, recommended to complete the image of the professional state of the Member's country or 
region or firm. 
2. The Member Reports are planned to be channelled by WWW. Member countries not yet connected to WWW will 
communicate with Council and Webmaster of ISPRS by fax or mail (diskettes). 
3. The Bodies dealing with Member Reports are: 
- ISPRS Members, i.e. mostly National Societies: 
-for propositions and input, 
- ISPRS Council Commissions and Working Groups: 
-for propositions, 
- ISPRS Working Group VI/1,4,6 "Member Reports": 
-for motivation and coordination, 
-for the preparation of the ISPRS Questionnaire and of proper general and special guidelines; 
- ISPRS Webmaster, himself a member of the beforementioned Working Group and its Cochairperson: 
-for execution, processing and visualisation, 
- ISPRS Council: 
-for supervision, procuring of means; 
-for definition of the obligatory part of the MR; 
-for approval of any new version of ISPRS questionnaire. 
4. The ISPRS Questionnaire will mainly be answered by 
- numbers (sizes, percentages, quantities, classes, etc.) 
- yes/no 
- keywords, keytexts, as suitable for automatic analysis, and 
- text which needs interactive treatment. 
5. Results of analyses, except pre-approved simple statistics, need approval by Council prior to publication. 
6. ISPRS Members must be in the position to follow up what has been done with the data. 
7. The descriptive part follows in the publication of the summary according to the structure recommended for the 
ISPRS Questionnaire. Keywords should be included within the descriptive part. These keywords should enable 
easy searching of information by insiders as well as outsiders. The Keywords will be taken over into an Index 
of all ISPRS 
Member Reports and adapted to the WWW searching facilities an state of the art. 
8. The Webmaster will show tables in WWW providing information when data has been lastly updated by each ISPRS 
Member and how old resp. accurate or reliable it is. 
9. Each section of questions should have its preamble, containing motivation, aim and expected benefits. 
10. Two types of topics will be considered: 
- Permanent questions - to be updated permanently 
- Temporary questions - to be treated only once. 
11. Propositions of topics which should be treated in the ISPRS questionnaire are to be sent to the Chairperson of the 
ISPRS Working Group for Member Reports or to the Webmaster (Cochairperson). 
12. New propositions /topics are to be reviewed and approved by the ISPRS Council or its authorised member. 
13. The evolution of the ISPRS Questionnaire will be achieved by feed-back from ISPRS Members. 
14. The Copyright of single contributions remains with the Member, that of analyses by ISPRS.
