Phylogenetic Nomenclature (1st International Congress)

[Ken Kinman]

Dear All,
      Someone asked a while back about any news from the First International Congress on Phylogenetic Nomenclature.  The only comment that I have seen so far was on the Dinosaur Mailing List (and can be reached through the link below).  Doesn't sound like much progress was made beyond the fact that it was actually held (not sure if that is bad news or good news).  Should be interesting to see if there is a 2nd such Congress in two years (wouldn't surprise me), but I can always hope PhyloCode fizzles out after that.  Maybe they could spice up the second Congress a little and burn some of us critics in effigy?  :-)
