1. Establish a World Wide Web site to enhance rapid communication [March 1998; JZ, HL]. The Web page should be updated on a bimonthly basis to facilitate communications of planetary cartographic information throughout the world.

2. Collect information on the global status of planetary cartographic products and plans. This will be acheived through a survey of planetary cartographic products and services available in as many countries as possible, dependent upon identifying at least one point of contact within each country surveyed [June 1998; KS, BK].

3. Production of a multilingual planetary map series. The first map will be of Mars, with accompanying text in at least English, Russian, German, French, and Spanish [October 1998; KS, MB,BK]. Subsequent maps of other planets would follow on roughly a two-year basis per map.

4. Establish liaison between the ICA and various national or international space-related groups [October 1998]. Groups targeted for first attention in this effort are: IAU [JZ], ISPRS [ED], COSPAR [?], USGS [JZ], NASA [JZ], RKI [BK, KS], DLR [HL,MB], NASDA [JZ], ESA [MB], CSA [?], IAF [KS], ISRL [KS]

5. Schedule at least one meeting per year where the Working Group members can discuss issues face to face. Tentatively the meeting targeted for 1998 would be held in Moscow, in conjunction with the annual Brown/Vernadsky Microsymposium [tent., October 1998; KS, BK]. The meeting for 1999 would take place at the Ottawa ICA meeting [October].

6. Generation of multilingual glossary of terms used in planetary cartography [First version, June 1998; JZ,MB,ED]. The goal here is to document terms that have different uses in various national programs; for example, 'hypsometric' in Russian is equivalent to 'topographic' in English and German usage.
