Prague, August 16, 2006 . ... Continue the GCVS project for at least 3 -6 more years;  for this period, continue publication of Name-Lists for individual discoveries and for large-survey stars studied also elsewhere;  during this period, start a new GCVS version with improved data and with complete information for Name-List stars; . during this period, work on Steve Kawaler's suggestion;  pay maximum attention to improving software for period determination, automatic classification, etc . ...

... The distance scales of the objects are matched both by comparing the first derivatives of the angular velocity determined separately from radial velocities and proper motions and by the statistical-parallax method. ... Good agreement between the inferred 0 and our calculations based on space velocities suggests that the Lindblad relation holds throughout the entire sample volume. ... Brandt and Blitz (1993) published the distances and radial velocities for a total of 206 H II-regions. ... Astron. ...
