- Encourage open sharing of geodetic data and information that contribute to the implementation of global, regional and national reference frames, and their inter-relationship;
- Advocate for guidelines and standards to advance the interoperability of geodetic systems and data;
- Address various technical, institutional and policy issues related to the implementation of a GGRF;
