Jon Wagner asked: > > Will the ISPN as a whole be given an opportunity to comment/vo= te/sanction >the proposed changes? Currently, proposed changes in the PhyloCode are approved or rejected= =20 by the PhyloCode Advisory Group. Starting March 1, the Committee on= =20 Phylogenetic Nomenclature will take over this role from the Advisory= =20 Group. The CPN is elected by the membership of the ISPN, and an=20 election will be initiated no later than January 1 in order for the= =20 CPN to be established by March 1 (see Article VII, section 6 of the= =20 ISPN bylaws). After the code is implemented, it will again be the= =20 CPN that approves or rejects proposed changes. Of course the CPN= =20 could decide to take a straw vote of the ISPN membership on=20 particularly contentious issues, but that would be up to the CPN to= =20 decide. Phil --=20 Philip D.
