The objective of the rule is to prohibit the use of non-type specimens as specifiers when a type could be used instead. Differences in species criteria may certainly result in a particular specimen being referred to different species by different people, but can it result in a biologist concluding that the specimen can't be assigned to any named species? Note that the wording does not require that the biologist who is using the specimen as a specifier be the person who named the species or even that he/she accept the premise that species exist.<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">I said I would initiate the vote today if no one objected to the timeline, but I'll hold off doing so until we finish discussing the issue David has raised.<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">Did no one else have any comments on the proposed revisions that I sent on January 2?<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">Phil<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">On Jan 6, 2013, at 7:55 AM, David Marjanovic wrote:<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">These proposals are probably good enough in practice.
