Has anyone else read the article in the ASC
Newsletter (I think from Sept or Oct) on just
this issue?  The author, Lynn Kimsey from
University of California, Davis, gives
identification charges for various institutes,
and these range from US$35 to US$100.

The paper makes an interesting read, but does not
get as far as 'recommended guidelines', something
that the ASC may like to consider for the (near)
future.
