Study Group involvement in the use of PASC (pairwise sequence comparison) as a tool for classification

Note from Proposals Secretary: The ICTV Executive Committee agreed to promote the use of PASC by study groups. The proposal does not require a vote of National Members because it concerns policy rather than taxonomy per se.

Proposal to avoid creating species names identical to isolate names

Note from Proposals Secretary: The ICTV Executive Committee endorses this proposal as good practice but notes that the ICTV's remit does not extend to the naming of strains/isolates. It is not intended to put this proposal to a vote of National Members.
