Hola Mark, A name is official when you are allowed to use it in a  
Meteoritical Society publication, right?  I would suspect the only way the  NomCom is 
going to give advance approval via magic emails, is if you promise you  are 
working on a peer-reviewed paper for publication in a scientific journal  
especially MAPS, and need an approved name for your rock, and have the don to  
convince them.  I heard through the grapevine, however, that those magic  emails were 
also available to commercial dealers with no publications, one of  the 
amounts of:  an additional 5 grams or 5% type specimen contribution, or  $500 to the 
endowment, as long as it isn't the smallest of the three.   Saludos, Doug
