==New Term Recommendation==

I know I introduced this term but I suppose that it could arguably be covered by including it in the dwc:scientificName.

Would like to amend the definition ""The full scientific name of the (botanical) section in which the taxon is classified. In botany, the section falls below genus but above species. The subgenus, if present, is higher than the section."

I would like to promote the adoption of the concept mentioned in this issue. To do so, I will need a stronger proposal demonstrating the need to share this information - that is, that independent groups, organizations, projects have the same need and can reach a consensus proposal about how the term should be used. It might be a good idea to circulate the proposal on tdwg-content and see if a community can be built around and support the addition.
