> First circular
>
> The Organizing Committee announces that the First International
> Phylogenetic Nomenclature Meeting will be held in Paris, at the Muséum
> National
> d'Histoire Naturelle and at the Collège de France, from June 28 to July
> 1st, 2004.
> This meeting should be of general interest for biologists because it will
> constitute an important event in the development of new code of biological
> nomenclature. Papers presented at the meeting will be assembled into a
> symposium volume whose publication will coincide with the implementation
> of the PhyloCode. This volume will represent the official starting point
> of
> phylogenetic nomenclature as implemented in the PhyloCode, and the names
> defined within it will be the first ones established under the new code.
> We
> hope that specialists on a wide range of organisms will participate in the
> meeting and contribute to the symposium volume. The process of submitting
> abstracts will be detailed in the second circular. We ask that
> systematists who
> work on the same group collaborate to produce a single set of phylogenetic
> definitions for clade names in that group.
>
> We hope that this meeting and the publication of the symposium
> volume will be key events in the history of systematics. Indeed, they will
> mark the introduction of a new international code of biological
> nomenclature
> that incorporates the most fundamental changes in the way taxon names are
> defined since Linnaeus. All interested systematists are cordially invited
> to
> participate in this historic meeting. To receive the second circular (that
> includes registration information), please contact M. Laurin by e-mail
> (laurin@ccr.jussieu.fr) and write in the "subject" field of the message
> "PhyloCode 2004 meeting".
