News from or about MembersMark Grygier named ICZN CommissionerMark Grygier is one of the new members of theInternational Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.This body was founded in 1895 and currently comprises 19members from 17 countries.The ICZN website explains that the Commission operatesin two main ways:ICZN publishes the International Code of ZoologicalNomenclature containing the rules universally accepted asgoverning the application of scientific names to allorganisms which are treated as animals.ICZN provides rulings on individual nomenclaturalproblems brought to its attention, in order to achieveinternationally acceptable solutions and stability.http://www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted_sites/iczn/The recently revised ICZN website is well worth a visit!It is notable for its cleanly elegant design, and veryinformative, with a Mission and Vision statement, anexplanation of "What We Do," the names of the members ofthe Secretariat and the Commissioners, and a summary ofthe ICZN's history. The International Code of ZoologicalNomenclature is available online, and can also be ordered inbook form. Abstracts from the Bulletin of ZoologicalNomenclature from 2001-2006 are also posted on the site.There is information about the Official Lists and Indexesof Names and Works in Zoology. Several useful linksincluding one to ZooBank, now in a prototype version basedon Thomson Zoological's "Index of Organism Names",which is the electronic archive of the Zoological Record,going back to 1978 (vol. 115). The entire list of names in theZR will soon be available.Many good wishes to Mark as he takes on his newresponsibilities!― Jan ReidFrom Andrey Marchenkov:I finished my scientific activities last year and now I amengaged in absolutly another field of interest - I have a job inthe only Russian Marine Aquarium, in Saint Petersburg.

I havemoved out of the Dean’s office and will shut down mymarine biology lab within the next 6 months. I am still oncampus in the same building as the School of theEnvironment (I moved from the 7 th to the 2 nd floor) - socome see me if in the neighborhood. My telephone numberhas changed (see below) - all other contact informationremains the same (easiest and preferred email isbccoull@sc.edu)I will work part-time with the Center for Humans andNature (New York and Chicago based non-profit) on aproject educating local governments about conservation andenvironmental ethics as they relate to land use in the of SClow country.
