The work to be carried out on the subject grant during the next funding period will center on names needed for surface features on the Galilean satellites of Jupiter, names for the newly discovered satellites of Uranus, and the development of a nomenclature scheme for surface features on Titan. In the case of the Galilean Satellites, the ongoing Galileo mission is producing new images that continually lead to requirements for new names. These names are being supplied from name banks established according to the guidelines our Task Group established during the Voyager flybys 20 years ago. These names then require approval by the full Working Group and by the IAU General Assembly.
