International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes

The ICSP is an international committee within the International Union of Microbiological Societies (IUMS) which is responsible for matters relating to prokaryote nomenclature and taxonomy.
The ICSP consists of an executive board, the members of the Judicial Commission and members elected from member societies of the IUMS. In addition, the ICSP has a number of subcommittees which deal with matters relating to the nomenclature and taxonomy of specific groups of prokaryotes. The ICSP is also responsible for overseeing the publication of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (the Bacteriological Code) and the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM) (formerly the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, IJSB). IUMS has now agreed to transfer copyright of future versions of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (to be renamed the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes) to the ICSP.
