<https://iota-world.org/#homepage_news_12>
IOTA Management announced on 31 August 2018 on the IOTA website the five 
yearly review of the Directory list of IOTA groups (see previous 
Management News item). It mentioned its intention of releasing a small 
number of additions at this year’s RSGB Convention in Milton Keynes with 
a second tranche at Ham Radio Friedrichshafen in July 2019. IOTA 
Management is grateful to proposers of some 28 candidate groups received 
by the 1 October deadline. On Sunday 14 October IOTA General Manager 
Roger Balister, G3KMA announced the first tranche of 6 new groups at the 
RSGB Convention. They covered a Swedish/Finnish joint sovereignty island 
and groups in North America, Asia and Oceania. All new groups have 
provisional numbers. This means that they will need to be confirmed by 
an operation taking place after 14 October 2018 that meets the 1000 QSO 
and other normal validation requirements. Only after confirmation of the 
number will credit for past operations be considered. Read the full list
