The paper estimates the expected rates of changes in the coordinates of various observatory networks (IPMS, BIH, VLBI, etc.) due to the secular motion of the pole and/or continental drift according to the Le Pichon Model. Based on these estimates, suggestions are made as to what to observe and over what time span to separate the effect of continental drift and secular polar motion.
