Résumé

LeBulletin Géodésique s’abstient par principe de publier des articles déjà parus dans d’autres périodiques. Nous avons pour une fois fait exception à cette règle, sur la demande des auteurs, pour permettre à nos lecteurs de se documenter sur une question qui avait soulevé de vives controverses à l’Assemblée Générale de Bruxelles.

Nous remercions en leur nom la Rédaction de l’Astronomical Journal qui nous a autorisés à lui emprunter cet article.
