Currently, proposed changes in the PhyloCode are approved or rejected=

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.
