Thanks David and Mike for taking time from your busy schedules to comment on these lists. It's only through the hard work of guys like you that we make real progress in the world. Nobody appreciates your comments more than I. Nobody. I really mean it.
Your comments are noted, and I will deal with these soon. There are also a couple of Cat E species that need to be added. Steppe Eagle is straightforward, it seems. And there's Slaty-backed Fly now under consideration. We're also reviewing a few other species wrt category. I hope all these will be dealt with fairly quickly.
Finally, we are about to start a review of the order and nomenclature of the List with a view to bringing it into line with recent advances in taxonomy. Having (rightly) decided not to follow Sibley & Monroe 10 years ago, we do now think it is time to change. We'll be looking at Clements, and Howard & Moore. We're very open to suggestions from people as to this could be taken forward.
Regards,
Geoff
