The International Heliophysical Year (IHY) in 2007 will consist of a series of coordinated observations combining data and models from an expansive group of international participants. Campaigns will be planned to target all aspects of heliophysics, including solar and interplanetary physics, geospace science and the climatary impact on Earth. These campaigns will require extensive coordination to ensure that available ground-based and space missions are utilized to the greatest scientific benefit. The "Whole Sun Month" campaigns serve as an excellent prototype for IHY. The first Whole Sun Month campaign (10 August - 8 September 1996) consisted of an entire month of coordinated solar and heliospheric observations, followed by workshops which combined the analysis of the campaign data with the utilization of these data to constrain interpretive 3-D models solar and heliospheric structure. The subsequent campaigns (in 1998 and 1999) targetted more specific topics, again allowing a broad base of participants to establish a comprehensive base of observations for model interpretation. The many scientific successes of the Whole Sun Month campaigns (publications, workshops, model refinement and ongoing collaborations) and the framework of campaign coordination provides an excellent basis for the planning of IHY campaigns. We will discuss the campaigns in detail and begin an outline for how the campaigns could be expanded to incorporate more observations and a greater timeline for IHY.
