ICBN Art. 59 (fungi)

[Eric Swann]

        I am interested in setting up an email group for the
purpose of discussing Article 59 of the ICBN, "Names of Fungi
with a Pleomorphic Life Cycle".
        Discussion is intended to focus on the meaning of terms
used in Article 59, the philosophical reasons for continued
use of/or deletion of this article, how the article currently
affects fungal systematics, and how fungal systematics would
be influenced in the event of the deletion, or modification
of Art. 59.  However, the conversation would be free to
follow any thread the group brings up.
        I am particularly interested in incorporating people
with a diversity of experience and expertise into the
discussion.
        If you would like to participate in this group, please
email me at: erics at puccini.crl.umn.edu
