REPORT FROM AD HOC COMMITTEE TO REVISE 
NYSARC GUIDELINES 
(members Kevin J. McGowan and Thomas W. Burke) 
6 November 1999 
The addition of two members to the New York State Avian Records 
Committee (NYSARC), approved at the July 1999 meeting of the Board of 
Directors of the Federation of New York State Birds Clubs, Inc., necessi¬ 
tated several changes in the guidelines for the committee. Specifically, 
the criteria for acceptance and rejection of reports needed to be altered to 
incorporate the additional members. In addition, we recommend an 
addition in the number of rounds that a report can be considered if reso¬ 
lution is not immediately forthcoming.
