Approximate timeframe(s) for proposed field activities:
Arctic: n/a
Antarctic: n/a

Significant facilities will be required for this project:

Will the project leave a legacy of infrastructure?

Other sources of support

Has the project been "endorsed" at a national or international level?

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND STRUCTURE

Is the project a short-term expansion (over the IPY 2007-2008 timeframe) of an existing plan, programme or initiative or is it a new autonomous proposal?

How will the project be organised and managed?
The management of the project shall be provided by National Antarctic Scientific Center of NASU relative to JSC “ECOMM Co”. Also the international level management of IPY coordinators is anticipated.

What are the initial plans of the project for addressing the education, outreach and communication issues outlined in the Framework document?

What are the initial plans of the project to address data management issues (as outlined in the Framework document?
The received positioning data of selected terrain probes and their features will be entered into the sole GIS system of National Antarctic Scientific Center of NASU with the possibility of a further transfer to ICSU World Data Centres, Joint Committee for Antarctic Data Management, WCRP and oth.

How is it proposed to fund the project?

Is there additional information you wish to provide?
The creation of Geographic Information System of the Western region of Antarctic» will cost 60 000 (sixty thousand) UAH
