Title
Papers for the international symposium Commission VI
Author
Sitek, Zbigniew

197
We agreed to :
- adopt the same .frequency for our congresses and to schedule
them in order not to have two important congresses in the same year
(by the way, let me s iy that I am not perfectly sure that ICA will
that
follow recommendation, for instance due to its frequent meetings or
to this invitation from Sydney, desirous t;o gather as many scientific
associations as possible, at the same time, during the festivities of
the second centenary of its foundation),
i .
- to have the two main exhibitions (FIG and ISP) at a two
year interval; we want to meet the exhibitors’*bids, so far as we do
not lose our liberty;
- to develop inter-association co-operation, in the areas of
common interest.
Let me add some comment about this third resolution. It does not
seem possible to have common working groups, but it is possible to
have official representatives of any association in a working group
or commission of common interest, in any other association • In ISP
for instance, Commissions are given to Member Bodies, by a vote of the
General Assembly, at the Congress, for a quadrennial period, to prepare
the technical sessions of the future Congress and to make them as
fruitful as possible. If we admit that only one Association will have
its Congress one year - I consider that as the most important of our
decisions - a working group which is just created in the year Y, at a
Congress or after a Congress, wi3.1 have to make .its conclusions ready
for presentation and discussion in the year Y + 4. This working group,
in case of common interest, can and must ask for the help of other
international associations. But, in the year Y, commissions or working
groups would be working since the year Y'^ Y inside another association,
for a congress to be held in the year Y* +4. So, really common working
groups do not seem easy to create, under some bicephalous chairmanship.
But, to take the example of ICA and ISP, it is easy to appoint one or
two photogrammetrists in ICA working groups concerning such matters as:
automation, topographic and thematic mapping, initial or permanent
education, etc. and vice versa.
These people from ISP, for instance, of a working group still in
function in ICA, would usefully report at the ISP Congress to say how
ICA is processing.
