and **
**inconsistencies in the DXCC rules and program; and,**
**WHEREAS during this time, changing international conditions and 
situations now **
**warrant review of these rules to insure the DXCC rules acknowledge 
such changes and **
**events. **
**NOW BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that the ARRL Board of Directors tasks the **
**Program and Services Committee to request the DX Advisory Committee 
(DXAC) study **
**and, if warranted, recommend changes to the DXCC Rules for the ARRL 
Board of **
**Directors to discuss.**
**A status report shall be forwarded to the Programs and Services 
Committee prior to the **
