Proposals to AviList

AviList welcomes proposals for changes or revisions from the ornithological and birding community. Future versions will move forward based on this proposal system.

Proposals need not be especially long or detailed, but do need to provide some evidence for why a change is needed for a given treatment. This could simply involve pointing the team to a relevant paper that suggests revision, but more detailed proposals that lay out the rationales for potential treatments are also welcomed.

Existing proposals for NACC and SACC provide a good guide, but AviList can consider much briefer recommendations when well supported by a publication.

A process for submission of proposals is being developed and will be shared here soon. In the meantime, if you wish to submit a proposal please use the Contact Us link to let us know what issue you are hoping we could address, so that we can coordinate with anyone else working on the same issue. We will be back in touch as quickly as possible.
