It is not a simple decision for BirdLife Australia to adopt a newtaxonomy. I believe that BARC has recommended that BA adopt a"living" taxonomy, and has suggested the IOC rather than the BirdLifeInternational taxonomy. BA has many projects such as the Atlas. Itis quite a big task to change the taxonomy for projects such as that.It is not something that you want to do every 3 months or so when theIOC issues an update. Even annually. It is not just a case ofreprinting forms.

Surely Australia isn't the only country that has projects such as theAtlas. How do other countries that use the IOC taxonomy cope with theregular updates?
