[CPN] Fwd: next set of CBM-related proposals

[Cantino, Philip]

Dear CPN members,

I said I would call for a vote on these proposals today, but I don't think we are ready to.  Although only one person suggested changes, David M. suggested quite a number of them.  I need time to discuss these with Kevin and return to the CPN with a revision to be voted on.  This may take a few days.

In order not to delay our response to the authors of the CBM proposal, I would like to delay consideration of David's suggestions concerning the definition and use of the term "taxon" (detailed in the second of his two Sept. 29 messages).  That series of proposed changes is only tangentially related to the species issue and will take some time for Kevin and me to work through.  I think this is better done after we finish with the CBM-related changes.

Phil

Subject: [CPN] next set of CBM-related proposals

Dear CPN members,

While the committee is voting on whether to delete Rec. 11.4B (see my previous email), we can also be discussing the next set of proposed changes that were stimulated by the CBM species proposal.  Kevin and I have worked out wording for most of the changes that the CPN agreed to consider (see attached document).  The only one we have not yet worked on is Art. 21, which will be more difficult.  In the process of thinking about the attached changes, we noticed a few other related ones that we feel should be made in the glossary, and these are also included in the attached document.

Please think about all the changes in the attachment and send your comments to the listserv.  We are not yet voting on these; this is the discussion period.  How about if we give ourselves two weeks for discussion?  Unless someone asks for more time, I will call for a vote on Monday, Oct. 8.  In the meanwhile, I will work on the proposed modifications to Art. 21, some of which came from me and some from David M.  I don't know whether I will be able to complete these by Oct. 8 because I'll be out of town eight days of that period.

Phil
