[Taxacom] ICZN position on Darwinius

[Kenneth Kinman]

Dear All,      
      I'm not positive exactly what the ICZN Secretary means by a
"separate print edition" must be produced.  Sounds like they are
requiring an edition printed on paper.
      This sounds like a rather expensive fix to the problem.  Why
couldn't they do what Palaeontologica Electronica does, namely
depositing CD-ROM copies of the publication in at least 5 major
libraries (which is apparently in accordance with the requirements of
Article 8.6 of ICZN).  Of course, Article 8.6 also requires that those 5
major libraries be explicitly named in the publication.  Couldn't the
online publication then simply be modified to list those 5 libraries?
Or does the ICZN believe it is too late to fix the problem with CD-ROMs
and printing on paper is the only solution they will now accept?  I
guess it depends exactly how one defines "separate print edition" (do
identical CD-ROMs count?).
