[CPN] Fwd: Membership of the International Committee on bionomenclature

[Cantino, Philip]

Dear ISPN Council and CPN members (those of you on both the Council and CPN will receive two copies of this message),

I am forwarding a message from David (Paddy) Patterson, the new Secretary of the IUBS committee on BioNomenclature.  He is asking that someone represent the ISPN on this committee.  Is anyone interested in being nominated?

Phil

As you probably know, the IUBS committee on BioNomenclature met in Berlin last week.  The terms of office of David Hawksworth and Werner Greuter came to an end, and Sandra Knapp was appointed chair of the committee, and I was appointed Secretary.

We remain very keen to ensure that the committee is not just about the type-based codes, and want to ensure that Phylocode has a strong voice on the committee.

That said, Phylocode has not been represented in the last two meetings.  I wonder if it might be appropriate to identify a new representative for Phylocode.  I'd be pleased to receive any thoughts that you might have.

Thanks

Oh, and I trust that you are well.

Paddy
