to the PhyloCode, with respect to species. </font><span

the proposal as an entire entity but also decided to
continue discussion to determine if there are elements of
your proposal that we would like to incorporate in the next
revision of the draft code. </span><span

CPN for not having informed you promptly about the initial
vote, an oversight that was related to the fact that we are
still discussing elements of the proposal and thus view the
decision-making process as still in progress. At the
conclusion of this discussion</span><span
class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri,
sans-serif; font-size: large; ">, we will inform you of the
outcome as well as posting the CPN decision on the news

Good. Just remove the first comma -- and add my name somewhere,
changing "I" to "we", because it might be considered my logical duty
(as the Secretary and/or as a member of the Publicity Committee) to
send out such information. We should probably establish a standard
procedure on who informs which people when.<br>
<br>
As a contribution to the ongoing discussion, I'll soon repost my
proposal for a revision of Art. 21 that includes some but not all
parts of the rejected proposal. I just need to find it...<br>
