[Taxacom] Linz International Zoologucal Nomenclature Workshop

[Michael A. Ivie]

Doug,

To be fair to Alain, the message you responded to was an invitation that 
went to you, and I am sure more Commissioners than you received it as 
well.  To imply you were not invited in response to an invitation to you 
is disingenuous.
