Discussion on the Implementation of the IAU Resolutions

The presentations in this session showed that procedures, models and software are available to users for the implementation of the IAU 2000 resolutions. Such an implementation has already been done in IERS products and will be done in almanacs in a near future. However, an important educational effort is needed to inform a wider astronomical community about the new system recommended in IAU 2000 Resolutions and official recommendations are required in order that the almanacs implement the new IAU resolutions based on a common an approved terminology.
