17.4.1. Indication of person(s) and/or organization(s) responsible for providing the information entered into the registry (whether by the original author or authors, or by a third party or parties);
17.4.2. Complete citation details of the publication in which the name or nomenclatural act appeared
17.5. Mandatory retrospective registration of names and nomenclatural acts published before 2008. Any name or nomenclatural act published before 2008 that is cross-referenced by another registered name, or by another registered nomenclatural act, must itself be retrospectively registered with the official ICZN registry of zoological nomenclature in accordance with Article 17.4.
17.6. Unavailability of unregistered names and nomenclatural acts proposed after 2007. As established in this Article, all new names and nomenclatural acts must be registered with the official ICZN registry of zoological nomenclature in order to be available. Thus, all scientific names of animals [Art. 1] and all nomenclatural acts relating to such names as governed by this Code that appear in any published or unpublished work after 2007, that are not represented by a corresponding entry in official ICZN registry of zoological nomenclature, are to be considered unavailable.

Add Recommendation 17A. Cross-reference to registration entry for name of family-group taxon in which a registered subgeneric name is placed. Whenever possible, a cross-reference to the registration entry for the name of the original family-group taxon in which a genus-group name established at a subgeneric rank or species-group name is placed, should be provided.

Add Recommendation 17B. Retrospective registration by original authors. Voluntary or mandatory retroactive registration of names or nomenclatural acts should, whenever feasible, be performed by the original authors of said names and nomenclatural acts.

Add Recommendation 17C. Retrospective registration of related taxa. Authors who register names or nomenclatural acts are strongly encouraged to retrospectively register [Art. 17.4] names of all other closely related taxa, when feasible, even if not required by Article 17.5.
Change to Articles 17-90, including cross-references thereto. Increase Article number by 1.

Change to Article 22.1. [=21.1] Replace “Except as provided in Article 3” with “Except as provided in Articles 3 and 21.9”.

Add Article 22.9. [=21.9] Date of publication for names and nomenclatural acts subject to mandatory registration.
22.9.1. The publication date of all names and nomenclatural acts proposed after 2007 shall be fixed as the moment at which the complete registration entry for the name or act was submitted to the official ICZN registry of zoological nomenclature [Art. 17].
22.9.2. This date shall be included as part of the registration entry, and established by the ICZN registration service at the time of registration.
22.9.3. If two (or more) new names or nomenclatural acts with mutual cross references [Art. 17] are simultaneously registered, the publication date for both (or all) such names will be identical, and will be set as the moment at which all mutually cross-referencing names have been completely and properly registered.
Example. After 2007, if a new genus-group name and a new species-group name that represents the name-bearing type of the new genus-group name are concurrently registered, each would need to cross-reference the other (the genus-group name would need to cross-reference the new species-group name as its name-bearing type [Art. 17.2.2]; and the new species-group name would need to cross-reference the new genus-group name in which it is originally placed [Art. 17.1.4]). The publication date for both new names would be identical, and would be established by the ICZN registration service as the moment at which the complete registration entry for both names were completed and submitted to the official ICZN registry of zoological nomenclature [Art. 22.9.1, 22.9.2].
