ICZN Commission

[Sabina F Swift]

Aloha,

Two days ago I gave a lecture on the International Code of Zoological
Nomenclature to a systematics class and one of the questions asked was:
Who selected the members of the International Commission and were there
criteria in
the selection of delegates to the Commission?  I/m sure there were
criteria but what are they?  My question is: Are members of non-English
speaking systematists/zoologists ever become part of the Commission?

I will appreciate input from anyone on these questions.
Thanks.

Sabina
