N7NG explained to the committee that the possible changes related to factors that may fall within the DXCC entity guidelines adopted by the Board. As such it was too early to tell if this was a matter for DXAC or a matter resolvable within the current rules or need to be referred to DXAC. The Committee authorized N7NG to make the referral, if necessary. My understanding is that he has now been able to follow up on this and will report to the PSC on this at the July 14, 2005 meeting. 73, Jay KØQB PSC Chair -----Original Message----- From: Tom Frenaye [mailto:frenaye@pcnet.com] Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 8:45 PM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:12709] Re: DX Advisory Committee Semi-Annual Report At 02:19 AM 7/11/2005, you wrote:

DX Advisory Committee Semi-Annual Report

How come the DXAC never studied Western Sahara? I found this in the PSC teleconf minutes from March:

N7NG reported that there may be some changes that could affect the active DXCC status of Western Sahara. The Committee authorized N7NG in consultation with DXAC Liaison Vallio to ask the DXAC to study the current situation in Western Sahara.
