Submission of comments
Comments on Cases (either in support or against, or offering alternative solutions) should be submitted by e-mail to iczn@nhm.ac.uk.
There is no specific format, but comments should not discuss personalities, should clearly depict advantages and disadvantages of the proposed solution(s), and should be to the point. Please keep in mind the distinction between questions of nomenclature, which are in the jurisdiction of the ICZN, and taxonomy, much of which is not. Comments may be edited before publication.
If a Case is under consideration for voting (see List of open cases) comments will not be accepted for publication and will only be sent to the Commission if they present substantive information that indicates the Case or previous Comments were incomplete or incorrect. Thus it is important to submit Comments in a timely manner.
Authors should indicate their affiliations, postal and e-mail addresses.
Because changes in nomenclature may concern the community at large (beyond the narrow circle of professional taxonomists), we welcome comments from people in education, conservation, industry, etc.
