> Hi All,, sorry about the link issue. I'm not sure why it has been hitting the 
> 2015Jan version of  the checklist. I think Tony Palliser has now resolved it. 
> And yes, the change to Australasian Swamphen in v2015Jul is from the pending 
> IOC v5.3, so a little premature. It is the only 5.3 change that snuck in. The

> Please let me know if you notice any errors so I can fix them in v2016Jan.
