FOREWORD

This Manual has been prepared to assist ISPRS Technical Commission, as well as Working Group officers to work within accepted ISPRS guidelines that govern its operation. It brings many of the guidelines together in one volume for easy reference, including those related to the responsibilities of ISPRS officers, publications to which officers are expected to contribute, and guidelines for the preparation, publication and distribution of The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences and the ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences. Since the contents of this manual will evolve over time, it will be updated when appropriate.
