    I don't think they are. I have seen similar wordings ("name changed to align with major checklists" or something similar) in the 2023 Clements checklist and expect to see more in the next one. Niels

    I have never achieved a working relationship with the way sounds are described in dictionaries. My feeling for how I have heard Cacique pronounced by Guides in Latin America (Panama and Colombia most lately) is that the middle syllable is the most strongly pronounced, and the the ending is with...

    Same as what was just published in the North American Checklist update. Niels

    They will have to continue reviewing taxonomy in the rest of the world. There would not be any reason to treat the Americas differently, I think. Niels

    That is not how I read the post from David. The true IOC updates happen every half year and has all the bells and whistles including scientific names of both species and subspecies involved. Additionally, they have in between statements on the website with updates that contains the scientific...

    If anyone have overlooked this: there is a discussion of the Tresmarias Parrot split or not in the first of the NACC proposals, see first post in this thread: https://www.birdforum.net/threads/aou-nacc-proposals-2023.437765/ Niels

    This has been discussed before and yes, apparently several of those species where common is part of the name was named for living on the commons. Niels

    My impression is that the Clements group have been busy with this year's update for most of the period between then and now. Their participation in WGAC therefore has likely been limited. Niels

    While you wait for that, here is a hypothetical question: imagine that the WGAC has agreed on a change but your internal process rejects it. What happens then? Niels

    Thanks Paul, When I look at the IOC spreadsheet they quote SACC proposal 730 but have not followed the conclusion in SACC. I just wondered if this deviation is deliberate. Maybe a case for discussion in the working group when they get to these species? Niels

    According to Clements, Porphyrospiza has been lumped into Rhopospina by SACC (also visible on their classification pages part 11). Has this been evaluated by IOC? I do not see anything in the Diary. Niels
