[meteorite-list] New information from Nomenclature re: provisional names and numbers

[wahlperry at aol.com]

Dear List,

I am sending this email in response to an ongoing thread regarding 
provisional names and numbers for new finds. I hope this puts an end to 
the thread. I have contacted the Nomenclature regarding this issue and 
received the following response.



>Dear Sonny,
>Thanks for your phone message as well as this email.
> You can look up the committee membership and the rules and guidelines 
on the Meteoritical Society website.
>The Committee has no requirements regarding getting provisional 
numbers within a fixed time. In fact there is no requirement to get a 
provisional >number at all. If you want to just submit a meteorite at 
the time it is classified that is fine. Similarly, there is no time 
requirement for submitting a >new find. When fragments are clearly 
paired it is fine to include them all in the same number.
>I hope this clarifies things.


I hope this will end the harassment from Mr. Bob Verish and Team 
Verish. As you can see I have done nothing wrong in the delay of 
getting provisonal numbers and names for all of  my new finds. I have 
chosen to complete field study work before aquiring any provisional 
names or numbers.
Below is an excerpt from one of Bob's emails.

>Guess I'm just jealous that Sonny gets to do things
>his way, and I'm forced to abide by "guidelines".

months have been focused negativley on my finds.

Thanks,

Sonny
