The 2003 report of the IAU/IAG Working Group on Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements has appeared in Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy(2005)volume 91, part 3–4, pages 203–215. The Working Group continues to maintain and update the information for cartographic coordinates and rotational elements for the Sun, Moon, planets, satellites, asteroids, and comets. A report is published treannually. A web site is maintained at http://extranet.astrogeology.wr.usgs.gov/Projects/WGCCRE with the up-to-date information. It is anticipated that the next report will include updates for Saturn (rotation rate) and all of the Saturnian moons, additions for the newly visited comets and asteroids, and a clarification of the Moon's coordinate systems (the mean Earth/polar axis system needs to be defined more precisely).
