[Zoobank-list] Congratulations

[Pedro Martinez Arbizu]

Register of animal names

My congratulations!
The initiative of a global register of animal names is not only great, but
it is the only way for taxonomy to survive this century. This register was
needed since decades.
Not only registration of names must be obligatory (I hope that journals will
not publish in future new names without an entry code in your database), but
also the descriptions of animals should be freely available. Only this will
help to overcome the so called taxonomic impediment.
Thanks for this initiative.
