No Dome

Note: These rilles do not have designations, but they should. I have recently become head of the IAU lunar nomenclature committee and we will take up the possibility of naming rilles, and maybe later domes. Amateurs have established a unique naming system for domes (Arabic numbers and nearby crater names, e.g. Hortensius 3), and rilles were last designated with a crater name and a Roman numeral (e.g. Plato II). Are these acceptable naming conventions to extend to all domes and rilles (with the few exceptions such as Kies Pi which are well established)?
