You weren't there. What were they going to do, call up every single relative of the family from around the world and ask them? Stop avoiding the issue and answer the question.

Did my family rename it to "Happy Gully" by taking a vote behind closed doors and locking me out?
Stating that they are not professional astronomers is a bit over the top. The vote was at one of the IAU conferences. Given that there are multiple conferences by multiple scientific organisations in each field each year and you can't go to all, everyone has to choose which conferences to go to.
Also, not all astronomers have planetary astronomy as their specialization, so scientists looking at star formation might have skipped this meeting for obvious reasons.
The vote was conducted in violation of the IAU's own bylaws on the last day of a two-week conference when most attendees already had left.
They didn't 'skip it' ... they went home, the vote was held after most attendees had already left.

And as pointed out, if the meeting was on the schedule and mainly planetary astronomers were there you don't have much of a complaint.
Also, many planetary scientists do not belong to the IAU and therefore had no say in this matter.

Wrong again AVET, you cannot back someone into a corner in the first place without evidence. And I see that your article did not support your claims. First it was not a professional article. Second it did not answer my questions.
Yes, it is obvious that many members of the IAU are not planetary astronomers. The question was what astronomers were at the meeting. Planetary ones or just average ones?
Don't know ... don't care ... don't care to know.
Your John 9 inquisition means nothing to me.
You are wasting your time arguing with AV.
So gravity is responsible for engines exploding? Does this only happen while Pluto is a planet?
The difference is when I do it, its on purpose.

So you think my comment about how it is foolish to be worried about what you're going to call a thing when there are much more important issues is unwarranted?
