[Frank.Krell at dmns.org]

“so, Frank, do you see the function if the ICZN to regulate taxonomic practice in a substantive way, by making the availability of names contingent upon such factors as (1) whatever characters are deemed to be good ones at the present time; and/or (2) whatever body of people are deemed to be good and proper taxonomists at the present time???
