The commission business meeting of URSI-F was held at the same time on that date, and five commission members
attended with one of them connected by Skype, satisfying a quorum of the business meeting. There was adiscussion on attendance to future international conferences relevant to the field of URSI-F, such as AP-RASC 2016
(Seoul, Korea) and ISAP 2016 (Okinawa). Also, the plans of yearly activities of URSI-F were discussed, includinga West-Japan meeting in this September, and an East-Japan meeting in next April, the latter of which will be newly
organized primarily for remote sensing researchers probably in Sendai, Miyagi.
