Abstract

The editorial Board of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) – the Prokaryotic Code – has compiled already ratified proposed emendations of the ICNP, together with additional editorial changes and clarifications. These were implemented in a draft 2025 revision of the Prokaryotic Code. To comply with Articles 13(b)(4) and 4(d) of the statutes of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP), a public discussion of the document will start on 1 January (or later if required) 2025, to last for 6 months. Here, we present the basis for the revision and the procedure for the discussion. The discussion will be followed by the balloting of the ICSP members.
