It is recommended that the listed type of the genus Chlamydomonas be changed from C. pulvinus to C. reinhardtii and that the name Cylindrotheca be conserved against Ceratoneis . It is also recommended that the name Sargassum vulgare not be conserved with a conserved type. The Committee's view on the size of the current ICBN and its method of publication is discussed.
