Dear Nico, Brent, and David, Thank you for your thoughtful proposal for changes to the PhyloCode with respect to species. The CPN has voted to reject 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. I apologize on behalf of the 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, we will inform you of the outcome as well as posting the CPN decision on the news section of the ISPN website. All the best, Dave _________________________________ David C.
