As the former Head of the IAU Office for Astronomy Outreach (OAO) who drafted the IAU strategic plan and a current member of the WGSN (Star Names) and CAP (Communicating Astronomy with the Public) Commission, the author occupies a unique position at the intersection of international policy and local practice. This presentation explores the "implementation gap"—the friction that occurs when high-level global resources and naming conventions meet the practical, socio-economic, and cultural realities of a local observatory in a high-density urban environment like Hong Kong.

While the IAU provides robust tools and standardized frameworks, local practitioners often encounter a sense of indifference toward "top-down" initiatives that do not immediately align with local needs. Drawing on recent experiences with STEM education projects and observatory facility upgrades in Hong Kong, this talk will address:

1. The Relevance Gap: Identifying which IAU resources "stick" at the local level and which are perceived as too abstract. 2. Cultural Resonance: How working groups like the WGSN can serve as a bridge by validating local heritage and Chinese astronomical culture, making "global" astronomy feel "personal." 3. The Local Reality: The challenges of hardware upgrades and STEM curriculum integration in a city where light pollution and competitive academic environments dictate public interest.

The session concludes with a call for "Bi-directional Outreach"—moving beyond the dissemination of tools to a model where local obstacles actively reshape global policy.
