Hello Mike, 

The Meteoritical Society is the society founded by Nininger and Leonard 
and publishes scientific journals, including as a footnote, the 
Meteoritical Bulletin. The MB is where meteorite classifications are 
approved by the Nomenclature committee of the Meteoritical Society. The 
former head of the NomCom is on the list (Dr. Grossman), and many list 
members are also members of the Met Soc. 

The benefits of joining? You get MAPS, the journal of Meteoritics and 
reduces rates on another. 

As for 'representatives' on the list, well some are here, 

check out their website on www.meteoriticalsociety.org and you can see 
who ... 

Best wishes, 
Doug

Hi everyone, I guess I have completely missed this organization. What 
are the benefits of joining? I am guessing they don't have a 
representative here on the list?
