Dr. Matar:
You might wish to look at the Canada-Denmark (for Greenland)
Continental Shelf Delimitation Agreement, which can be found on the UN
DOALOS web site at
http://www.un.org/Depts/los/LEGISLATIONANDTREATIES/PDFFILES/TREATIES/DNK-CAN1973CS.PDF
.
In it, there are clauses for the re-computation of the delimitation
line once the Geodetic Datum problem is resolved, and for the effect of
new hydrographic surveys of the coasts.
"Article 4.1
The Parties undertake to co-operate and to exchange all relevant data
and measurements with a view to obtaining and improving the
hydrographic and geodetic knowledge necessary for more precise charting
and mapping of the region covered by this Agreement. When knowledge is
obtained enabling the parties to estimate the datum shift between the
1927 North American Datum and the Qornoq Datum, the geographic
co-ordinates of points listed in Article II shall be adjusted and
re-listed in relation to both the 1927 North American and the Qornoq
Datum.
4.2 If new surveys or resulting charts and maps should indicate that
the dividing line requires adjustment, the parties agree that an
adjustment will be carried out on the basis of the same principles as
those used in determining the dividing line, and such adjustment shall
be provided for in a Protocol to this Agreement."
