Whilst not wanting get embroiled in a is it or isn't it situation - I'd
venture to suggest it does need a look at.
In NO way, shape or form is Scarborough Reef an entity. It is a rock,
or to be more specific a collection of rocks.....
There are many others out there too that need some closer scrutiny.
Mount Athos - what happens when Monk Appollo has gone? Is it erased or
do we hope (forever) another Monk takes up the hobby? Why is a closed
entity still on the list???
We could go on and on.........

Hey Joe,
Nope, don't like it, I've been chasing DXCC since 1969, almost 40 years and
I vote with ARRL and the way they do things.
I know strictly I don't get to vote, being a G but they make it interesting.
I love the DXCC and thanks to the ARRL for giving me something
to chase.
Regards.

You can please some of the dx-ers all of the time, and all of the dx-ers
some of the time, but you cannot please all of the dx-ers all of the time.
Abe Lincoln said that, or was it Bob Dylan, I'm getting too old!

Does anyone else think it is time to update the DXCC criteria to
specify a combination of the US Department of State "Independent
States in the World" list http://www.state.gov/s/inr/rls/4250.htm
plus the list of "Dependencies and Areas of Special Sovereignty"
http://www.state.gov/s/inr/rls/10543.htm?
The two lists plus the minimum separation standards are a rather
clear and objective criteria for "political entities."
