[CPN] extension on time to review and discuss proposals

Thu Nov 14 05:04:51 EST 2013

Dear Phil,

Sorry for the late response. I was on travels. Regarding the proposed
modifications to our Code I concur with Andy. All changes sound fine to me.

Best wishes,

Miecz

Dear CPN members,   

I have received a request that we delay the vote on these proposals for a
week.  This is fine with me.  It is important that everyone have enough time
to review and discuss the proposed changes, and people's schedules and other
commitments vary.  I will call for a vote on Friday, Nov. 15 unless
discussion is still in progress at that time.

Regards,

Phil

Dear CPN members,

In the attached version of the code, Kevin and I have added several other
changes that were not in the version I sent you on Nov. 1.  Some are in
response to comments sent on Sept. 11 by David Marjanovic and the rest
originated with us.

The newly proposed modifications are highlighted in yellow so that you can
easily find them (the are in Principle 6, Note 6.1A.1, Note 9.14A.2 Example
1, Rec. 11C, Art. 17.1, Art. 17.5, Art. 20.4 Example 1, Note 20.4.1 Example
1, the Glossary entries for "branch" and "node", and Appendix C).  All are
minor, so I don't anticipate it will take you long to check them.  

I am surprised not to have received any comments on the changes I sent Nov.
1.  I hope this means that everyone is comfortable with the proposals.  On
Friday, I will call for a vote unless there is discussion ongoing at that
time.  The vote will be on the newly proposed changes (those highlighted in
yellow) as well as those I sent on Nov. 1 (which are shown with Track
Changes but without highlighting).

Regards,

Phil

Dear CPN members, 

Just a reminder: If you have comments, they should be sent to this listserv
by next Friday (Nov. 8) so that there is an opportunity for discussion
before I call for a vote.  No one has commented to date.

Regards,

Phil

Subject: proposed modifications of PhyloCode

Dear CPN members,

Over the past three-plus years since version 4c was posted online, Kevin and
I have come to an agreement on a variety of modifications, some of them
originating with one of us and some originating with other members of the
CPN.  There is no central theme to the proposals, as there has been for
other sets of modifications the CPN has considered in the past two years
(e.g., rules dealing with species; expansion of the section describing the
kinds of definitions).

The attached document consists of the most recently approved version of the
code (i.e., including the modifications approved by the CPN last month), to
which we have added the newly proposed changes using the Track Changes
function of MS-Word.  If there is anyone who does not have MS-Word or an
equivalent package that allows you to see the tracked changes, please let me
know.  The Preface and Index are not included in this document.

The proposed changes occur in the Preamble, Articles 6, 7, 9 (beginning with
9.8), 10, 11, 12.2, 14, 15.11.1 Example 1, Rec. 17.3A, 19, 20.8, 21, 22,
Glossary, Appendix A, and Appendix C.  Although there are many changes, the
vast majority of them are minor (e.g., updating the abbreviation for the
botanical code in umpteen places; clarifications that don't affect content,
additional parenthetical references to other parts of the code).   There are
a few more substantive changes proposed, but we anticipate that most and
perhaps all of them will be uncontroversial.  

Don't be concerned about formatting errors in this document (e.g., page
breaks in inappropriate places; use of different fonts); these will be fixed
later.

We don't anticipate that it will take you very long to review these proposed
changes because most are not substantive.  Two weeks should be more than
adequate unless some of you are traveling without email access during this
period.  I suggest Friday, Nov. 8 as the target date for comments.  If this
is difficult for some of you, or if discussion on some points is still
ongoing on that date, we can extend the deadline.

Thank you, all.

Best regards,
Phil
