beautiful venue, the lovely weather of Rhodes and mostly to the extremly careful work prof. J Badekas has done. We all hope that something really exceptionally useful will finally come out of this meeting Having a brief look at the past, we can say that during the meeting in Krakow the emphasis was on history and something positive that come out was the endeavour which has not yet completely finished, in Mains we had a new orientation in information retrieval, in Badayri the meeting was centered on technical cooperation, and finally in Rhodes the meeting is focused principally on education. Comparatively speaking a good propotrion of possible international patricipants has registered, arrived and is attending the meeting. This is a vast improvement and a credit to the President of the Commission. On the other hand it is really a shame that only two out of ten people responsible- for the WGs, and Intercommission Groups are here, This is not a new problem, so there is no need to overemphasise it., but 1 am of the oppimon that when somebody accepts the responsibility of a WG, one has to attend the Symposium as well. Since there was little contribution from the WGs the meeting is concentrated into papers. Altogether 26 papers on education out of 48 registered, some of them invited, were presented and we may say it was a representative sample of what needed to be discussed. The ratio is not at all satisfactory and we’ve got to think of it seriously for the Congress in Washington, because only when one .is determined to be there does one deserve to be included in the list. As far as WGs are conserned, f would like to mention some individual suggestions. For example, talking about the WG on education we can tell from the papers that there is lot of interest in the field yet there is disinterest by the WG chairman. So the question right now is, is there a possibility to combine the activities of WG 2 and 7 into one and to find one responsible chairman for it? Something has to be done about Com VI WG 4 on economics, too, where it was mentioned that there was an extensive expectation in the field, yet nothing significant came of it, due to the fact that the chairman is too busy with other activities in a private industry in Switzerland, and also something has to be done with WG 5 and 6 to overcome the usual difficulties with French goverment. An other thing that has to be mentioned here is the fact that today, due to the total overlap in methods used in Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing, Cartography and Surveying, for example the use of the same computers, total stations, digital recording techniques, raster scanning and so on, there is a great task for an initiative by ISPRS and Com VJ_ to get together with the representatives of 1USM to do joint work. Maybe in Washington the representatives of FIG and ICA will do some joint work.
