Wow!!! The Grande Galerie de l'=C9volution is a magnificent setting, and part = of one of Europe's best natural history museums. A preliminary draft of the programme will shortly be available in the = abstract booklet on the PhyloCode web site = (http://www.ohiou.edu/phylocode/). What an honour to be placed right behind Sereno! :-) The programme is very encouraging. My fears that only a few disciplines = (angiosperm phylogeny, tetrapod phylogeny) would be represented have = been dispelled. I'm looking forward to a very interesting meeting!!! (Having some entomologists would still have been nice, though.) Unfortunately an error has made it into the programme. I will not = advocate an apomorphy-based definition for Aves (which would be next to = impossible, if Rec. 11A is to be followed). I will advocate a stem-based = one, as follows: {Passer domesticus > Velociraptor mongoliensis, Oviraptor philoceratops, = Segnosaurus galbinensis, Troodon formosus, Sinornithoides youngi, = Ornithomimus velox, Tyrannosaurus rex, Compsognathus longipes, = Ornitholestes hermanni, Coelurus fragilis, Coelophysis bauri, = Hypsilophodon foxii, Crocodylus niloticus, Sphenosuchus acutus, = Euparkeria capensis, Megalancosaurus preonensis, Sorex araneus} (P. domesticus is the internal specifier, all others are external ones.) Because I have generously been given the opportunity to give this = 5-minute talk, the part ", and a definition for Aves" in the headline of = my 15-minute talk can be dropped. The same applies to the second = paragraph of my abstract, which is correctly reproduced as saying what = I've repeated above.
