Contents of this page have been deleted after receiving the following message from Dr Read. I feel that it is quite unfortunate that the ICZN is not made public in the internet and that in the name of copyright (i.e, copywrong) they prevent its publication--this will lead to its ultimate demise. The phylocode is freely accesible in the internet and, with the growing phylogenetic knowledge available, new generations of taxonomists will ignore the old green book with the ICZN... The original intent for posting the summary of changes here was to inform members of our Systematics Discussion Group (most of whom do not own a copy of the ICZN)-- and members of taxacom that found it thought it was useful.

Dear Scout project & Dr Orti & Dr Tubbs (Int Trust for Zool. Nomenclature), This page (ref below) is in copyright breach with ICZN. Furthermore it appears to be in fact a copy of the prepublication change details taken from ICZN website (and no longer online there), not precisely what is in the book of the Code (which has the usual all rights reserved notice). I believe Dr Orti already knows this and had expected him to remove the page from public accessibility, or to get approval from ITZN & make clear its provenance. The last thing I expected was to see a person now getting false credit on the Scout report after ripping off a webpage of another site. I can only charitably assume Dr Orti didn't know the original source of his page. Nevertheless I am now drawing the matter to Dr Tubbs attention.
