Implementation
Recipe for a successful International Year: Starting points
Great Idea
Strong Case
UN Body recommendation
UN Proclamation
Global participation
Exciting activities (Global, regional, national & local)
Enthusiasm, engagement and excitement at all levels
Funding

Act as a catalyst/facilitator
Provide a strong framework/standards/set of procedures
Recipe for a successful International Year:Implementation procedures/Standardization
Clear strategy
Internal guidelines
Partial autonomy to adapt National Nodes
External guidelines: logo, Cornerstones, Special Projects, Special Products etc.
ESO ePOD standard procedures, production pipeline
Define areas of responsibility Secretariat vs. Others (e.g.SPoCs)
Recipe for a successful International Year:Franchising approach
Central coordination
Common goals
Common branding
Resource sharing
Financial independence, with seed funding from IYA2009 (~15 KEUR/Cornerstone project)

IYA2009 Legacy:Strategy plan: Astronomy for the Developing World
An ambitious blueprint for expanding astronomy development programmes in the areas of education, sustainable global development and capacity building.
This is a long term commitment by the IAU, building on the unparalleled success of the International Year of Astronomy
IYA2009 Legacy:Strategy plan: IAU Office for Astronomy Development
IAU Office for Astronomy Development will coordinate the many existing and planned IAU activities.
IYA2009 Legacy:IAU Public Outreach Coordinator (>2011)
Maintain and develop the IYA2009 network (IAU EPO Ambassadors);
Global collaboration and coordination between IAU and the amateur community;
Database of professional astronomical facilitiesalong with press information and outreach contacts
IYA2009 Legacy:IAU Public Outreach Coordinator (>2011)
Central global “communication point”: best practices, providing guidance and delivering weekly information about ongoing and activities.
Co-Coordination and/or support of global activities: like Global Astronomy Month, World Space Week, Yuri's Night, eclipses, transits, etc.
Community Building: Communicating Astronomy with the PublicJournal and coordination of the annual IAU/Bhaumik EPO prize (TBC)
