The definition of a terrestrial reference pole (TRP) and of a Terrestrial Longitude Origin (TLO), by fixing the stations coordinates of an adopted network seems unrealistic. It is proposed that TRP and TLO be the realized origins of some specified service working in accordance with some stated principles. It is also proposed to clarify the definition of UT1 and to base it on some physical properties.
