If this is almost certainly aimed at DXCC, then the ARRL is probably the single authoritative source as to when any QSOs from any of these prefixes/countries may be recognized. If there is another award that recognizes different dates, then at least two sets of dates would have to be kept: one would be for DXCC and the other sets would conform to the other award entities.
