Summary Decisions are reported on (1) two complicated proposals to conserve names (one rejected, one accepted); (2) two requests about potentially confusable names (both cases considered not confusable); and (3) two requests about whether descriptive material is adequate for valid publication (both considered adequate). The committee also discussed and voted on the list of institutional votes for the next Nomenclature Section in Shenzhen in 2017 and gave its collective opinion on proposed changes to the Code that are relevant to this committee.
