I can't say when the bulletin announcement may come, only that we try to
get these kinds of falls announced as soon as we possibly can. I expect
this one to follow suit.

Jeff,
Of course there are no "Laws" only it seems like people almost act like there
are such restrictions. I should have put the little quotes around the word the first
time.
Of course there are financial reasons why hunters want to keep some info
private at times, for financial reasonsm. And there are probably financial
reasons why researchers don't want to invest time and money into researching
something only to have some unethical researcher scoop credit or grant money
from them if they let info out of the bag too early.
Still, it would be nice if that information would be free to everyone as it
arrives. Probably ain't gonna happen, but it would still be great wouldn't it?
This is super news that a Metbull classification is coming real soon. Do you
have any idea when that might happen?
By the way, this is FAR better than having to wait a year or longer like in
years gone by. It is a wonderful time we live in.

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.

I suppose in 2 years or so, when the papers are published, and this gets named
and classified, we will all start to appreciate what we have here.
It is a bit unfortunate that meteoritical laws require that information not be
made public until after the papers are peer reviewed, presented and published.
