Anyone have an idea what entities this will create/modify?

DXCC Rule Change
Upon request of the Programs and Services Committee (PSC), the
DXAC has studied the impact of a change to the DXCC Rules. The
DXAC, the Awards Committee and the PSC have concurred in this
rule change, which will become effective June 15, 2006 at 0001Z.
New text replaces the previously removed DXCC Rule, Section II,
1. Political Entities, Paragraph c). The new text shall read:
c) The Entity contains a permanent population, is
administered by a local
government, and is located at least 800 km from its
parent. To satisfy the
"permanent population" and "administered by a local
government" criteria of
this sub-section, an Entity must be listed on either (a)
the U.S. Department of
State's list of "Dependencies and Areas of Special
Sovereignty" as
having a local "Administrative Center," or (b) the
United Nations list of
"Non-Self-Governing Territories."
Rule 1c) is intended to recognize entities that are sufficiently
separate from their parent for DXCC purposes but do not qualify
under Rule 1a) or 1b). The new rule will cause a change to Point
1 status for certain entities. This in turn will reduce the
mileage for a first separation for these entities from 800 km to
350 km.
The lists referenced in the text of the rule can be viewed at the
following Web sites: the DOS list of Dependencies and Areas of
Special Sovereignty at http://www.state.gov/s/inr/rls/10543.htm,
and the U.N. list of Non-Self-Governing Territories at
http://www.un.org/depts/dpi/decolonization/trust3.htm.
QSOs with any new entity resulting from this rule change will
count for credit for the new entity only if the QSOs are made on
or after the Start Date for the entity. In no case will QSOs made
prior to the date of this notice be considered for credit for any
new entity created under this rule. Applications for DXCC award
credits resulting from this change will be accepted on or after
October 1, 2006.
