ARRL Awards Committee Statement on Dissolution of the Netherlands Antillies:

To clarify the administrative process by which the anticipated changes
to the two existing Netherlands Antilles DXCC entities will be made, the
ARRL Awards Committee has determined that at 0400Z (12:00 AM local time
in the islands) on 10 October 2010, the two Netherland Antilles DXCC
entities will be deleted.

Commencing at 0400Z (12:00 AM local time) on 10 October, 2010, operation
from the islands of Curacao, Bonaire, Sint Maarten, Saba, and St
Eustatius will count for a yet-to-be-determined number of new entities
under the DXCC List Criteria, and Political Entities, Rule 1 and/or Rule
2 Geographic Separation Entities. When the Awards Committee determines
what Rule 1 or Rule 2 actions apply, it will announce the final
disposition of the entities on the DXCC list.

The DXCC desk will not accept confirmations for these new entities until
after 1 January, 2011.
