WORKING GROUP FOR PLANETARY SYSTEM NOMENCLATURE
(Committee of the Executive Committee)
PRESIDENT: H. Masursky
MEMBERS: K. Aksnes, G.E. Hunt, M. Ya. Marov, P.M. Millman, D. Morrison, T.C. Owen, V.V. Shevchenko, B.A. Smith, V.G. Tejfel

Since the General Assembly at New Delhi in November 1985, the Working Group held two meetings within six weeks of each other; most members of the Working Group and several members of Task Groups were able to attend at least one of these meetings. The thirteenth meeting of the Working Group was held at Toulouse, France on June 30 to July 2,1986; the fourteenth meeting was held at Moscow, USSR, on August 10,1986; the fifteenth meeting took place from August 13 to 15 in Soviet Armenia.
As a result of these meetings, and correspondence following the meetings, the following resolutions were passed:
- 1. Small Uranian satellites will be named for Shakespearean characters.
- 2. Seven craters on the farside of the Moon will be named for deceased American astronauts on the Challenger shuttle.
- 3. Features on the five large Uranian satellites will be named for Shakespearean, or bright- and dark-spirit personages and places.
- 4. A temporary nomenclature will be used for ground-based observation of events on lo.
- 5. The existing nomenclature will be retained for the rings of Uranus; new rings discovered by Voyager will be given Greek letters, beginning the sequence with lambda.
- 6. Future editions of the Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature will list the planets or satellites in order of distance from the sun or planet, according to IAU convention.
- 7.A new feature term, Unda (plural, Undae), was approved for dune-like features on Mars.
No decision was reached concerning additional names of Saturnian ring and ring-gap features. The name Colombo will be applied to a Saturnian ring feature of the meeting in Armenia.
The following names have approval from the Executive Committee (since September 1987):
