>> At 10:18 AM (EDT) on Thursday, July 14, the UN General Assembly met
>> to vote on whether or not to admit the Republic of South Sudan as
>> its 193rd member state. The Republic of South Sudan was unanimously
>> admitted and is now a member of the United Nations; a two-thirds
>> majority is needed to become a member of the UN.
>>
>> Immediately following the General Assembly meeting, the flag of the
>> Republic of South Sudan flew for the first time in front of the UN,
>> ceremoniously marking its membership in the UN.
>>
>> Now that the Republic of South Sudan is a member of the United
>> Nations, the new country is now a DXCC entity by way of Section II,
>> 1(a) of the DXCC rules. The DXCC Desk will begin immediately
>> accepting QSOs for this new entity, with a start date of July 14,
>> 2011.
>>
>> According to DXCC Manager Bill Moore, NC1L, the Honor Roll numbers
>> move from 340 to 341 for the Top of the Honor Roll, and for Honor
>> Roll it becomes 332. "The deadline for the Honor Roll and annual
>> listings is December 31, so you must submit the new entity to DXCC
>> by then in order to retain your Honor Roll status," Moore explained.
>>
>> "For Logbook of The World (LoTW), you may submit all your QSOs with
>> the Republic of South Sudan stations anytime. There is no need to
>> hold them out of your log or do anything differently from what you
>> already have been doing. You do not need to assign country names or
>> identifiers. After we issue certificates to the Republic of South
>> Sudan license holders, LoTW will make matches and assign the correct
>> entities automatically."
>>
>> As of July 14, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has
>> not announced a prefix block for the Republic of South Sudan.
