A meeting with Commission 8 (Dr Jackson in the chair) was held to discuss two questions:

  1. (a) Which stars are to be used in future as fundamental stars?

  2. (b) What positions are to be used for these stars?

The two systems available are the General Catalogue of Boss, with about 32,000 stars, and the FK3 of the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut, containing, with a supplement to be completed, 1535 stars.
