Alain: Out of curiosity, did you invite any actual ICZN Commissioners, 
or intend to allow for Skype participation for those who cannot travel 
to Linz? Also, I assume you have read the ICZN's rebuttal of your recent 
paper (http://www.mapress.com/file/d/zt03779p005.pdf) and the "burning 
questions" you raised therein?

Sincerely,
