[Zoobank-list] Mandatory? What database?

[Igor]

Dear zoologists,

I support the idea that voluntary registration of taxonomists should
start immediately. In fact, thousands of zoologists are already
registered in different directories. See some links here:

We may discuss here a Submission Form, e.g., the following:
