Report from the 36(th) and the 37(th) Meetings of the Executive Committee of the International Committee on Taxomony of Viruses 2006-03-03 .txt text/plain 2288 119 60 At EC36 there were extensive discussions of proposals to revise the statutes under which ICTV operates and to revise the International Code for Virus Classification and Nomenclature (ICVCN). In response to the proposal that ICTV should provide for each approved species a latinized binomial name to link its common name(s), the 'type' description and the classification, the EC felt that there was little support in the virology community for using latinized names. The changes proposed further stipulated that ICTV should keep an official list of virus names that were used previously but are no longer in current taxonomy. It was pointed out that fixing these lists of criteria was an important task for individual SGs. It was proposed that the category "tentative species" be eliminated from taxonomic usage because a virus can either be a member of a species or it cannot. ./cache/cord-261749-lq1ah16x.txt ./txt/cord-261749-lq1ah16x.txt
