Hmm, makes me wish there was a meetings section on this site. The General Assembly will certainly be dealing with far more issues than just Mars. Not sure we need a bazillion seperate threads in each topic discussed at this meeting either (like we have been doing for LPSC...)

I was just wondering. Will the Assembly assign provisional (Level 3) names to the newly (ie after Cassini entered saturn orbit) features seen on Saturn's many icy moons?

Not sure. Usually they show up before the meeting, but none have been officially assigned. I know names have been bounced around, but either they haven't been officially submitted, there is something holding up there selection by one of the sub-committees, or other reasons.
