These Transactions provide a record of the formal organisational
and administrative proceedings of the IAU XXVIII General Assembly
which took place in Beijing, China, in August 2012. They include
the admission of new members, the Resolutions passed, and an
account of the regular Business Meetings of the Executive Committee
and the Divisions, Commissions and Working Groups. Of particular
note, a new divisional structure for the IAU was approved and a new
Division on 'Education, Outreach and Heritage' created. Also
included in this volume is the welcome address given by Xi Jinping,
then Vice-President and now President of the People's Republic of
China. Over 3200 registered attendees enjoyed a rich scientific
programme of 8 Symposia, 7 Joint Discussions and 18 Special
Sessions. Proceedings of the IAU Symposia are published in a
separate series, and those of the Invited Discourses, Joint
Discussions and Special Sessions feature in Highlights of
Astronomy, Volume 16.
