http://adbn.tdwg.org recommended prefix adbn
Audubon is a difficult name, which even the authors of the standard easily get wrong in their publications. I find adbn a very unmemnonic abbreviation. A-D-B-N ... I probably would have a hard time ever typing it without looking it up, and think this is negative dissemination. adbn has some similarity to tdwg though ...
I would much prefer a simpler "ac."
