Subject: Art. 17.1
After considering the recent discussion of Art. 17.1 on this=20 listserv, Kevin and I are going to propose that the first sentence of= =20 this rule be reworded along the lines suggested by Guy Davies: "In order to be established, a clade name must be a single word=20 composed of more than one letter and consist exclusively of letters= =20 of the Latin alphabet as used in contemporary English, which is taken= =20 to include the 26 letters a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n,= =20 o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, and z, even though some of these= =20 letters are rare or absent in classical Latin."
