The agenda for the meeting in Stockholm are:

  1. (1) Report on the progress of the FK3 catalogue, and the volume of apparent places of the stars in this catalogue.

  2. (2) At the meeting in Paris it was suggested that the value of the Gaussian constant k should be fixed, and the President was asked to consult people known to be interested. As complete agreement appears to have been reached, the following resolution will be moved: “That the value of the Gaussian constant k shall be taken as 0-01720 20989 50000, the unit of time being the mean solar day for 1900·0”
