General ideas
As there is a similar problem for the uncertainty in the topographic density distribution in determining orthometric heights (but not for normal heights), we conclude that a normal height system is the best choice for a future height system. Once the normal gravity field is defined, the normal heights and the quasigeoid can be determined without any error stemming from the topographic mass distribution, and the quasigeoid can be estimated more precisely than the geoid as the reference surface.

World Geodetic Vertical Datum and System
World Geodetic Vertical Datum and System
Different teams computed W0 using the same input data, but their own methodologies:
Input data Mean sea surface models (MSS): CLS11 (Schaeffer et al. 2012) DTU10 (Andersen 2010)
Global gravity models (GGM): EGM2008 (Pavlis et al, 2012) EIGEN6C (Förste et al. 2011) GOCO3S (Mayer-Gürr et al. 2012)
World Geodetic Vertical Datum and SystemSome examples of W0 estimates
World Geodetic Vertical Datum and System
The reference level W0 for potential differences can arbitrarily be appointed. However, to get the worldwide consistency desired within a global vertical reference system, the selected W0 value must be realisable with high-precision at any time and anywhere around the world.
Therefore, it is necessary to estimate it from real observations of the Earth's gravity field and surface.
The uniqueness, reliability and repeatability of the global reference level W0 (or global geoid) can only be guaranteed by introducing specific conventions (like any other reference system!). On the contrary, there will exist as many height systems as W0 computations.
Remarks on W0
World Geodetic Vertical Datum and System
All the computations are delivering very close results (around 62 636 854 m2s-2), but there are still differences of about 0,5 m2s-2 (~ 5 cm).
It is necessary to start defining the standards and conventions for a formal recommendation on W0.
Final recommendation (till the end of 2013):
62 636 854,0 +/- 0,2 m2s-2
But...Canada: November 2013, CGVD2013 with 62 636 856,0 m2s-2
USA till 2020 also with 62 636 856,0 m2s-2

Project
„Investigations of the requirements for a future 5 mm (quasi)geoid model“
has recently been started within the Nordic Geodetic Commission (NKG).
The NKG gravity database will soon be updated in connection with theNKG-project „Computation of the NKG2014 geoid model“.

National Geodetic Vertical Network (1)
Lithuanian vertical (height) system is still not adopted.
The project of The Resolution of the Government of Lithuania is prepared!
It is based on EVRS Conventions 2007.

•Lithuanian state geodetic vertival network fits to the requirements of the modern society
•It necessary to speed up the adoption of the Vertical (height) and Gravity systems in Lithuania
•The densification of the first order vertical network should be executed to fulfill the all needs of the geodesy science
