I must say I'm with Jim on agreement of generic and specific names -- kp

> Dear CPN members,
>
> Discussion of the proposed changes in Art. 21 seems to have ended.  In a
> March 16 email message, David M. raised several issues.  Several of us
> voiced objections to David's proposed recommendation about stating one's
> species concept when describing a new species under a rank-based code, but
> he raised several other issues in that message, which I think are valid.
>
> In the attached revision of the proposed changes, Kevin and I have
> addressed the issues David raised.  In some cases we adopted his proposed
> wording, and in some we did not.  All changes from the document I sent you
> on March 15 are highlighted in yellow.  So if you already decided you
> approve the wording of that earlier set of proposals, you only need to
> read the yellow-highlighted sections of this set.
>
> Let's give ourselves a couple of days to comment on the new parts.  If no
> additional issues arise, I'll call for a vote on Wednesday.
