I'm not sure what you're referring to with this statement... an entry in 
MetBull will probably be published very soon.  After that, there are no 
Meteoritical Society bylaws or anything else concerning the release of 
information.  Of course, some authors may not release all of his/her 
data until such time that they don't get "scooped" on their research, 
and journals like Science and Nature have embargoes of articles prior to 
publication.  But MetSoc does not stand in the way of release of 
information to the public in any way... in fact, it promotes the 
dissemination of information, e.g., by sponsoring meetings and workshops.
