One of the continuing problems facing Commission 24 is its name. It has been known and reported for some years that the present title is not suitable for reasons that are all too obvious. This problem has continued during the last three years, despite the growing development and use of non-photographic methods and techniques.

Most of the recent meeting activity in which the Commission and its membership has been involved, has centered on its shared interests with Commission 8 and with the Working Group on reference frames formed at the last General Assembly. Since its inception at that time, C. A. Murray has been appointed to represent the Commission on that group.
