Hi Dave, Thanks for the news; it is better to hear it directly. I know there is not a lot of precedent for CPN procedure; I think we were the first "outside" proposal you had to deal with. So I'd like to suggest a procedural improvement: at some point it would be fair for us to have a chance to reply to points made by CPN members. So far it has been like a debate where only one side is allowed to actually debate. The people with vested interest in the current treatment of species in the Phylocode, Kevin and Phil, are in the debate and none of the three of us are. Just a thought, Best, Brent On May 11, 2012, at 7:17 PM, David Tank wrote: > Dear Nico, Brent, and David, > > Thank you for your thoughtful proposal for changes to the PhyloCode > with respect to species.
