Abstract：
In this paper the Judicial Commission provides general guidance for interpreting the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) and specific assistance to authors, reviewers and editors of a Request for an Opinion, or of other suggestions related to the ICNP. The role of the Judicial Commission is recapitulated, particularly with respect to the processing of such Requests. Selected kinds of nomenclature-related proposals are discussed that are unsuitable as the basis for a Request. Particular emphasis is put on Requests for placing names or epithets on the list of nomina rejicienda, and a dichotomous identification key is provided to guide potential authors of a Request that targets the name of a species or subspecies because of issues with its type strain. To this end, the criteria for the valid publication of such names under the ICNP are revisited. Aspects of other kinds of Requests are also addressed. The study is based on a comprehensive review of all Judicial Opinions issued since the publication of the Approved Lists in 1980. One goal of this paper is to assist potential authors in deciding whether their concern should be the subject of a Request, and if so, in composing it with the greatest chance of success. It is also clarified how to obtain additional help regarding nomenclature-related issues.
摘要：
在本文中，司法委员会为解释国际原核生物命名法（ICNP）提供了一般指导，并为作者提供了具体帮助。征求意见的审稿人和编辑，或与ICNP相关的其他建议。概述了司法委员会的作用，特别是在处理此类请求方面。讨论了与术语相关的某些建议，这些建议不适合作为请求的基础。特别强调将姓名或名称列入nominarejicienda名单的请求，并提供了二分法识别键，以指导由于其类型菌株的问题而针对物种或亚种名称的请求的潜在作者。为此,重新审查了在ICNP下有效发布此类名称的标准。还解决了其他类型的请求的方面。这项研究是基于对自1980年批准清单发布以来发布的所有司法意见的全面审查。本文的一个目标是帮助潜在作者决定他们的关注是否应该成为请求的主题，如果是这样,以最大的成功机会组成它。还阐明了如何获得有关术语相关问题的其他帮助。
