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 , 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.
在本文中，司法委员会为解释《国际原核生物命名法规》（ICNP）提供了一般性指导，并为征求意见请求的作者、审阅者和编辑，或与 ICNP 相关的其他建议提供了具体帮助。司法委员会的作用被概括，特别是在处理这些请求方面。讨论了一些不适合作为请求基础的命名相关建议。特别强调了将名称或绰号列入清单的请求，以及提供了二分法识别键，以指导因模式株问题而针对物种或亚种名称提出请求的潜在作者。为此，重新审查了根据 ICNP 有效发表此类名称的标准。还涉及了其他种类请求的方面。本研究基于对自 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，如何以最大的成功机会来编写它。还澄清了如何获得与命名相关问题的其他帮助。
