Sorry guys,
all your (our) contest logs which are fully published in the internet are 
now no-go for DXCC... well, at least it means less QSL-work.
Or maybe removing sent report is enough?

* ADDITION TO THE DXCC ACCREDITATION CRITERIA (August 11th, 2006). ARRL
   Membership Services Manager Wayne Mills, N7NG, informs: For a number
   of years, it has been accepted practice to post DXpedition QSO
informa-
   tion on a DXpedition Web site. Although this information is generally
   limited to callsign, band and mode, it has been useful in reducing
the
   number of duplicate contacts in the DXpedition log. Publishing
complete
   QSO information, or information from which full QSO information can
be
   derived, on the other hand, threatens the integrity of the QSLing
   process, and is unacceptable. There must be some information that the
   station claiming the QSO provides based solely on actually being
there
   when the QSO was made. If complete QSO information can be derived
from
   information based on the DXpedition log, the QSL manager's job can be
   much more difficult if busted calls are involved. To help minimize
   potential difficulties, therefore, the following restriction has been
   approved by the Programs and Services Committee, and added to the
DXCC
   Accreditation Criteria, Section III.

73, Timo OH1NOA
