Abstract
The previous Transits of Venus Working Group report
#6, covering the time mid-2006 to mid-2009, was published
by the undersigned in the Journal of Astronomical
History and Heritage, Volume 12, p. 254
(2009). The present report, #7, covering the time up to
mid-2011, has been prepared for the Reports to be
presented at the IAU General Assembly in Beijing in
August 2012. It is expected that after a flurry of
publications in 2012/2013, the activities in the field of
Venus transits will drop dramatically, and it is planned
to terminate the activities of the working group after
the Beijing General Assembly.
