3rd Meeting of the International Society for Phylogenetic Nomenclature
Halifax, Nova Scotia, July 21 – July 23, 2008

We are pleased to announce that the 3rd Meeting of the International Society 
for Phylogenetic Nomenclature (ISPN) will be held in conjunction with a 
joint meeting of the International Society of Protistologists and the 
International Society for Evolutionary Protistology 
(https://protist2008.dal.ca/). In addition to featuring communications on 
the theory and practice of phylogenetic nomenclature, this meeting will be 
an opportunity to discuss the forthcoming release of the PhyloCode and 
publication of the Companion Volume, as well as development of the on-line 
registration database (RegNum). All systematists interested in the 
development of phylogenetic nomenclature are welcome. Discussions and 
presentations at this meeting may influence the
future development of the PhyloCode.

Venue:
The meeting and associated social gatherings will be held on the campus of 
Dalhousie University, in the centre of Halifax. In order to make the meeting 
accessible to all scientists, on-campus dormitory-style accommodation will 
be available, in addition to nearby hotels. Note that U.S. Citizens 
traveling to Canada will be required to carry passports.
