Hola Mark, A name is official when you are allowed to use it in a Meteoritical Society publication, right? I would suspect the only way the NomCom is going to give advance approval via magic emails, is if you promise you are working on a peer-reviewed paper for publication in a scientific journal especially MAPS, and need an approved name for your rock, and have the don to convince them. I heard through the grapevine, however, that those magic emails were also available to commercial dealers with no publications, one of the amounts of: an additional 5 grams or 5% type specimen contribution, or $500 to the endowment, as long as it isn't the smallest of the three.
