22.9.4. Article 22.9 does not
apply to names and nomenclatural acts published prior to 2008 that
are retrospectively registered [Art. 17.4, 17.5], which retain
the original publication date as established in Articles 22.1 through
22.8 above.
Add Article 33.2.3. [=32.2.3].
The original spelling of names proposed after 2007 as registered
with the official ICZN registry of zoological nomenclature [Art.
17] can only be changed by use of the Commission's plenary power.
Add Article 53.8. [=52.8] Homonymy
of registered names. Names registered with the official
ICZN registry of zoological nomenclature after 2007 have no precedence
over unregistered older homonyms. If a registered name is determined
to be a junior homonym, an appropriate nomenclatural act indicating
such should be registered.
Add Article 62.5. [=61.5] Registration
requirement for name-bearing types established after 2007. All
genus-group names designated as name-bearing types of family-group
taxa after 2007, and all species-group names designated as name-bearing
types of genus-group taxa after 2007, must themselves be properly
registered with the official ICZN registry of zoological nomenclature
before they can serve as name-bearing types. This applies equally
to name-bearing types published before 2008 and retrospectively
registered [Arts. 17.4, 17.5], as well as name-bearing types
proposed after 2007 [Art. 17].
Change to Article
79.4.5. [=78.4.5] Replace full-stop (period mark) at
end of sentence with “; and”
Add Article 79.4.6. [=78.4.6]
maintain a registry to accommodate all new names and nomenclatural
acts proposed after 2007, and any names or acts published before
2008 that are voluntarily submitted, and provide an open access
database of these names and acts through the World Wide Web.
Add Article 81.10. [=80.10] Database
of registered names and nomenclatural acts proposed after 2007. New
names and nomenclatural acts proposed after 2007 must be registered
with the official ICZN registry of zoological nomenclature, maintained
and administered by the Commission. The status of registered
names does not differ from the status of names published before
2007. They have no precedence over names published before 2007.
The Commission will provide an open-access database, ZooBank,
of registered names via the World Wide Web. A series of continuously
synchronized replicate copies of this database will distributed
among designated institutions throughout the world, with an establish
ranking such that if the master ZooBank service (located at ICZN)
is interrupted, the official registry designation is transferred
to the highest-ranking replicate copy that is online and active.
Transfer of the active ZooBank registry will be returned to the
master ZooBank server after its online access has been fully
restored, and it has been re-synchronized with current registry
content.
The procedure that would be established through ZooBank for registering
new names and nomenclatural acts under this procedure is described
below, and summarised in Fig.
2.
1. A taxonomist wishing to register
a new name or nomenclatural act would visit the ZooBank service
located on the ICZN web site. A dynamic, interactive registration
form would guide the taxonomist through the process of entering
the necessary information (as specified in Article 17, and/or expanded
on the registry web site itself).
2. ZooBank will check the submitted
details automatically, and provide the author a unique identifier
(reference code: e.g. DOI/GUID/LSID) for each name or nomenclatural
act. This code will be deposited in ZooBank but inaccessible to
the general public until completion of the registration procedure.
