that in response to this invitation the CIPM adopted Recommendation 1 (CI-1983) (_mise en pratique_ of the definition of the metre) to the effect

* that the metre should be realized by one of the following methods:
** by means of the length stem:[l] of the path travelled in vacuum by a plane electromagnetic wave in a time stem:[t]; this length is obtained from the measured time stem:[t], using the relation stem:[l = c_0 * t] and the value of the speed of light in vacuum stem:[c_0 = 299 792 458 "m/s"],
** by means of the wavelength in vacuum stem:[lambda] of a plane electromagnetic wave of frequency stem:[f]; this wavelength is obtained from the measured frequency stem:[f] using the relation stem:[lambda = c_0 // f] and the value of the speed of light in vacuum stem:[c_0 = 299 792 458 "m/s"],
** by means of one of the radiations from the list below, whose stated wavelength in vacuum or whose stated frequency can be used with the uncertainty shown, provided that the given specifications and accepted good practice are followed;
* that in all cases any necessary corrections be applied to take account of actual conditions such as diffraction, gravitation or imperfection in the vacuum;
* that in the context of general relativity, the metre is considered a unit of proper length. Its definition, therefore, applies only within a spatial extent sufficiently small that the effects of the non-uniformity of the gravitational field can be ignored (note that, at the surface of the Earth, this effect in the vertical direction is about 1 part in 1016 per metre). In this case, the effects to be taken into account are those of special relativity only. The local methods for the realization of the metre recommended in (b) and (c) provide the proper metre but not necessarily that given in (a). Method (a) should therefore be restricted to lengths l which are sufficiently short for the effects predicted by general relativity to be negligible with respect to the uncertainties of realization. For advice on the interpretation of measurements in which this is not the case, see the report of the Consultative Committee for Time and Frequency (CCTF) Working Group on the Application of General Relativity to Metrology (Application of general relativity to metrology, _Metrologia_, 1997, *34*, 261-290);
