In the event of proposals F-005 and F-006 being accepted, add Note to Chapter F of the Code under Art. F.4.2 specifying: (1) registration of sequence-based names as “nom. seq.” (nomena sequentia) and (2) that such names do not have priority over names based on physical types (including cultures) or illustrations.

Lücking, Kirk & Hawksworth (2018, IMA Fungus 9: 185–198)

F-014

Art F.5. Allow correctability of mis-cited identifiers, via additions to Art. F.5.1, new Art. F.5.6, F.5.7 and F.5.8; and including addition of Art.

T.W. May, L.L. Norvell, K. Bensch, L. Lombard, D. Triebel & Z.W. de Beer

F-015

Amend Div. III, Prov. 8.3 by removing clauses (a), (b) and (c) and adding “(f) Mycologists who have published at least one nomenclatural novelty among organisms treated as fungi, in a peer-reviewed and indexed journal (only the authors of the nomenclatural novelty, who may differ from those of the publication).”

J.C. Zamora

F-016

Amend Div., III, Prov. 8.9 to specify (a) Personal votes, and add: (b) Institutional votes, and (c) “Personal votes from nomenclature committees” including the Fungal Nomenclature Bureau (FNB), the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF), the International Commission on the Taxonomy of Fungi (ICTF), and mycologists on the General Committee (GC) and the Editorial Committee (EC).

J.C. Zamora

F-017

In the event of proposal F-016 being accepted, amendments to Div. III, Prov. 3 to set out procedures for allocating Institutional votes for the Fungal Nomenclature Session.

J.C. Zamora

F-018

Add a new Article in Chapter F concerning DNA sequences as types, incorporating proposals F-005, F-006 and F-012, with addition that “A name of a new taxon based on DNA sequence data as type”: (1) “does not carry an author citation; instead, the unique registration identifier may be cited as reference. When a name based on DNA sequence data is epitypified with a physical type or illustration as defined in Art. 8.1–8.4, the authors of the epitypification become the authors of the name.” and (2) “is not validly established unless the underlying raw data … are deposited in a public repository and the unique identifier is cited in the protologue.”
