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

Thu May 3 11:31:40 EDT 2012

I am forwarding a message from Nico that may not have gone through to the CPN.  The listserv rejects messages with "too many recipients".  As moderator, I have to ask the system to accept each such message individually, but I have not been receiving my own copies of the messages I accepted so I don't know whether they are going through.

Michel, the next meeting is in China in early July.  We talked about this and I declined to go so no one else came forward. There is no funding for attending and I personally feel that right now we have enough on our plate and this invitation comes way too late. Once the Code is out, I think we can be more aggressive in our participation to these meetings.  The thing I would say to Paddy is that we are glad to nominate someone to be part of the committee, however we won't be able to attend the July meeting.

Cheers,
Nico

Dear Phil,

    I suppose that this person would need to attend the meeting of the committee on bionomenclature. Where and when will that be? And given that the ISPN has little financing, that person would need to finance himself, I suppose. That would be a problem for me, as the grant support has been dwindling steadily in France, in the last few years. So, I think that we need to know where and when the next meeting will be, and if any of us is interested in attending that meeting.

    Cheers,

    Michel

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?

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
