The International Society of Phylogenetic Nomenclature DOES exist.= =20 It was inaugurated in Paris and officers were elected.

Once the Council determines the annual dues, other= =20 people can join as well (and Paris participants can renew their=20 membership). Although the preparation of the companion volume hasn't begun, we are= =20 in the process of negotiating a contract with a publisher. In the= =20 U.S. at least, this may be done well before a book is finished, or= =20 even begun. > (The author of the zoological code is the entire Internatio= nal >Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.

The Botanical Code lists= =20 individual people as editors and is cited as Greuter et al., 2000= =20 (which I find appropriate, given that a large amount of work is=20 involved for those individuals, who should therefore receive some= =20 credit for it). As was announced in Paris, the editors of the=20 companion volume will be Kevin, Jacques and myself. Phil --=20 Philip D.
