Abstract
The GCVS (General Catalogue of Variable Stars) project, initiated, on behalf of the IAU, by P. P. Parenago and B. V. Kukarkin in the fourties, is now facing the necessity of serious changes because of the present scientific and administrative situation. Probably the most important directions of future work are: determination of accurate coordinates for known variables; development of an improved classification of variable stars; development of a data base for known variables with public access.Keywords
