ARRL Awards Committee Statement on Dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles:

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.
