To promote fuller awareness we should aim to globalize observations. In a more immediate sense, this addresses the planetary distribution of observing facilities and their access. What components in such facilities occur in ‘global networks’? What factors optimize the growth and scientific viability of such a network? What kinds of progress can be expected?
