Signing ceremony
A signing ceremony was a ceremony in which a document was formally signed.

In 2373, the Bajorans requested that the signing ceremony for their admittance into the Federation occur at Deep Space 9. Admiral Charlie Whatley and many other brass were to attend. Kira Nerys expected to see Vedek Mera there. 

Ultimately, the ceremony was not held due to Benjamin Sisko having a negative premonition about the results. ()
