International Botanical Congress
- International Botanical Congress
International Botanical Congress (IBC) is a large-scale meeting of botanists in all scientific fields, from all over the world. Authorized by the "International Association of Botanical and Mycological Societies" (IABMS), congresses are held every six years with the venue circulating around the world. The latest was the XVII IBC in Vienna, a hundred years after the second congress, II IBC, and the next will be held in Melbourne, Australia, 24-30 July 2011.
The IBC has the power to alter the "ICBN". Formally the power resides with the Plenary Session, but in practice this just approves the decisions of the Nomenclature Section. The Nomenclature Section meets before the actual Congress and deals with all proposals to modify the "ICBN": this includes ratifying recommendations on conservation. To reduce the risk of a hasty decision the Nomenclature Section adopts a 60% majority as needed for any change.
