Agreed, this is what I proposed in my base paper: The Metric Second (1973).We'd use 400 grads to a full circle, 1 arc-angle (or 0.01 grad) would be precisely 1 km and all the rest would fall perfectly in line.

Brij, we've gone through this before. There is *ALSO* no reason whatsoever to redefine the meter to a larger one as you propose.
The trick is to adopt a Universal altitude reference (UAR) (part of my UNS proposal) that would be roughly equivalent to a an altitude of ~531 m below current Sea Level. By doing this we would NOT need to redefine the meter *at all*. We'd use 400 grads to a full circle, 1 arc-angle (or 0.01 grad) would be precisely 1 km and all the rest would fall perfectly in line.
