Cultivar registration - the wraps are off

From: "derek burch" <dburch23 at bellsouth.net> on 2008.11.22 at 02:02:10(18744) Greetings, HTML +More It is time to get moving on this. Our application forhas been approved by the International Cultivar Registration Authority, and nowwe have to perform. Cultivar registration in a few words. WHY: I want to see it happen so that cultivar names are a matter ofrecord (and also eventually get tied to a reference site available to all, withdescriptions and images. WHEN: The time to start is now – RIGHT NOW WHERE: There is a great, simple form to apply for registration of aname on Aroid-l in the cultivar section WHAT: Any plant that seems significantly different and holds thedifference when propagated vegetatively HOW: The cultivar name, or epithet, is submitted on the applicationfor registration. It must be in a non-latinised form, and must sooner or laterbe published in print form associated with a description and preferably animage. The epithet is then established by this publication. If the applicationis approved, but the epithet has not otherwise been established, thepublication requirement will be met by a suitable entry in Aroideana. Registration will then followand lists of registered names will be published in hard-copy from time to time,and will also be displayed on the website. Simple, right? WHO: You, of course. This is only effective if the breeders andpropagators support it. Right now, I need help from volunteers familiar with a genus who cancheck the lists already available on Aroid-l, add any missing names, and giveme the place and date of publication of any names that you can trace. We are ready to go. Please be part of this. Derek ------=_NextPart_000_0001_01C94C1C.6C32E5C0----==============V87996743199607157=

From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2008.11.22 at 14:59:59(18746) Hello, And it's time to tell everybody that cultivar names can consist only of letters from the Latin alphabet. So we say goodbye to names with ěřýáíéöäüåąśćęóÅ„ etc. We'll "flatten" these letters to abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.

From: "Wilbert Hetterscheid" <hetter at xs4all.nl> on 2008.11.22 at 18:19:37(18748) Hi Marek, Unfortunately, there is MUCH more allowed in cultivar names than you seem to realize. Even plain sequences of letters and numbers are allowed, although there are rules to the way in which such cultivar "names" must be made. They are called "codes" in legal terms. The rules about diacritics are not consistent between statutory registration (PBR and so) and non-statutory. There much more where this came from but I won't bother the list with it.

Then bother me with it privately since i have gotten in deep poo for somecultivar names which led other folks to discard them and slap their owncultivar names on cultivars I DISCOVERED AND NAMED. hermine HTML +More --=====================_3435078==.ALT----=============="93973801491301260=
