Dear Dr. Kato,

Despite polemic in the literature, the GCVS team strongly insists that the
cataclysmic star should be called DO Dra, whereas the name YY Dra is
reserved for the (apparently lost) eclipsing variable originally
discovered by Tsessevich. Interesting enough, Tsessevich claimed he had
not forgotten the field, but the plate from the Moscow collection on which
we had asked him to mark the star did not arrive in time - he died!

Best regards
Kolya Samus
