Dear CPN, As I believe you are all aware, our colleagues Nico Cellinese, Brent Mishler, and David Baum have recently brought forward a proposal to amend the PhyloCode with respect to species (attached again here). According to the Code proposals will be posted on the ISPN website to facilitate broader discussion. However, because no previous proposals brought to CPN have been posted, I would like to start by getting the approval of the CPN to move this forward. So, as the first order of business, I would like to ask for a formal vote from the CPN on whether this proposal can be posted on the ISPN website. This is the first substantial proposed change to the code in quite some time and I think that it is very important to give the society and the community a chance to provide feedback to the CPN on this proposal. If approved, I would like to accompany the posting with a statement encouraging readers to send comments to the CPN Secretary, David Marjanovic, before the end of December so that these can be shared with the CPN as a whole. This timeline will also allow, Phil Cantino, who will be out of the country with limited email access through Dec., to participate in this important discussion. Please respond to this no later than Monday Oct. 31. Best, Dave Chairperson, CPN _________________________________ David C.
