[Taxacom] Proofs for opinion

[Stephen Thorpe]

I didn't quite say that. My "conspiracy theory" is merely that the amendment was more carefully considered against the publishing model of Magnolia Press, and less so for other publishers (whether major or minor, commercial or not) who did not have a representative on the ICZN.

 Hi Stephen,
 
 As I have said before, you are
 WAY off base here.  Zhi-Qiang made excellent contributions
 to the discussion on the e-publication amendment, just as
 many other Commissioners and non-Commissioners did.  I
 don't recall ANY instance where his input in any way
 attempted to influence the direction of the final wording of
 the Amendment in a way that would favor "major
 commercial publishers".  We all share the same goal:
 nomenclatural stability.  The real problem is that there
 are different ways to interpret "stability". 
 
 Aloha,
 Rich
