The original signatories have remained influential actors in the system, and proudly promote this status. These states became Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties (ATCPs) by virtue of their status as original signatories under Article IX. The other Consultative Parties now numbering seventeen have to accede to the treaty and then gain consultative party status by conducting substantial research activity there, such as the establishment of a scientific station or the despatch of a scientific expedition.
