Scientific paper

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) General Assembly in Prague 2006 was the setting of one of the most discussed stories of 2006 - the much hated and loved IAU Resolution to define a planet. The Resolution changed Pluto's status to a dwarf planet and resulted in an unprecedented emotional discussion. The author will start the discussion with some first-hand impressions of the events with the perspective of the IAU Press Officer. The discussion can then address other impressions of what happened in Prague. What were the negative and positive outcomes of the Pluto Affair? What can we learn from this experience?
