The Technical Commission Reports will be based on annual reports submitted from each WG Chair by 15 November of each year to their respective Commission Presidents. The TCPs are to combine all WG reports into a consolidated Commission Report which must be completed and submitted to the Secretary General by 15 December of each year. The Commission reports should NOT repeat Commission details that are available on the ISPRS Web site, such as ToR of the Commission or WGs, and mission statements. It should also not include unchanged details of Commission officers unless it is particularly important for the content of the report or they have changed. The reports should not be filled with unnecessary details, but should be short and precise so that the content has maximum impact on the reader. The most important items to be covered are the new developments in the state of the science and technology covered by the Commission and WGs over the previous year. Not all WGs will have significant changes in their activities that need to be reported on every year, but it would be expected that they can report on new developments several times during the period of the Commission. The Commission report should be a maximum of about 10 pages in length.
The order and content of the reports will include:
- State of Science and Technology of Commission Topics (TCP)
- Accomplishments of Commission during the current year (TCP)
- Working Group Activities During the current year (WG-Chair)
- WG I/1 (WG I/1 Ch) – maximum of approximately 1 page per WG.
State of Science and Technology of Working Group Topics, e.g. commentary
on progress, trends, needs, developments, bibliography of outstanding
publications for the current year on WG topics, etc.;
Accomplishments of Working Group during the current year, e.g.
Event Reports from meetings, colloquia, etc. in chronological order;
Working Group News, e.g. plans for forthcoming activities, meetings, etc.;

etc.
