• The GCVS has no IAU financial support since 1994, so we are not discussing money. • We can decide to close the GCVS project. However, it must be finished, with a new modern version prepared for all “old” GCVS stars, including those from Name-Lists, with current knowledge incorporated and improved classification system applied. This should be done in any case, and we will do it. Also, people like GCVS star names, use them,  and want their discoveries to be named. • We can ask other people, with better resources than in Russia, to continue. If we have willing candidates, we will be glad to help them with our knowledge and collected information. (Best approach so far: the International Variable Star Index, AAVSO). We are not going to refuse to continue, and this option will not be our initiative.
