> New text replaces the previously removed DXCC Rule, Section II,
> 1. Political Entities, Paragraph c). The new text shall read:
> 
>     c)  The Entity contains a permanent population, is
>     administered by a local
>          government, and is located at least 800 km from its
>     parent. To satisfy the
>         "permanent population" and "administered by a local
>     government" criteria of
>          this sub-section, an Entity must be listed on either (a)
>     the U.S. Department of
>          State's list of "Dependencies and Areas of Special
>     Sovereignty" as
>          having a local "Administrative Center," or (b) the
>     United Nations list of
>          "Non-Self-Governing Territories."
> 
> Rule 1c) is intended to recognize entities that are sufficiently
> separate from their parent for DXCC purposes but do not qualify
> under Rule 1a) or 1b). The new rule will cause a change to Point
> 1 status for certain entities. This in turn will reduce the
> mileage for a first separation for these entities from 800 km to
> 350 km.
> 
> The lists referenced in the text of the rule can be viewed at the
> following Web sites: the DOS list of Dependencies and Areas of
> Special Sovereignty at http://www.state.gov/s/inr/rls/10543.htm,
> and the U.N. list of Non-Self-Governing Territories at
> http://www.un.org/depts/dpi/decolonization/trust3.htm.
> 
> QSOs with any new entity resulting from this rule change will
> count for credit for the new entity only if the QSOs are made on
> or after the Start Date for the entity. In no case will QSOs made
> prior to the date of this notice be considered for credit for any
> new entity created under this rule. Applications for DXCC award
> credits resulting from this change will be accepted on or after
> October 1, 2006.
