[CPN] Revision of proposed changes in Art. 21

[James Doyle]

>I am attaching a third revision of the proposed changes in Art. 21. 
>The two new changes, which were suggested by Jim Doyle, are 
>highlighted in green.
>
>I think the only remaining disagreement concerns Note 21A.1 and its 
>Example 1.  The proposed wording discourages changing the ending of 
>a uninomen to agree in gender or number with a clade name it is 
>combined with if that clade name is not also the name of a genus 
>under the appropriate rank-based code.  (Although David M. says that 
>the proposed wording "forbids" changing the ending of a uninomen in 
>this situation, the Note reads more like a recommendation.)
>
>I am going to call for a vote now, although if anyone feels that 
>more discussion is needed, please say so. 
>
>I am asking that everyone vote on two questions:
>1) Do you approve the proposed changes to Art. 21, without 
>consideration of Note 21A.1 and its Example 1?

Yes

>2) Do you approve of the proposed wording of Note 21A.1 and its Example 1?

Yes

>Please send your responses to the listserv.  Let's give ourselves 
>until the end of the day on Monday (April 1) to vote.

>Regards,
>Phil
