I can't speak for anyone else on the advisory committee, but I would have no problem with adding French as a third alternative. Including French would be consistent with the fact that the ICZN is written in English and French. Retaining Latin as a third choice would be consistent with the botanical code, which mandates Latin for the descriptions associated with new taxon names of non-fossil plants. Phil Philip D.
