    Default New Stamp category required for Gilbert & Ellice Islands post 1971

    I notice that there is a category for Gilbert & Ellice Islands stamps pre 1971 in British Commonwealth but after that date there seems to be nothing

    it should be a separate sub category within Australia & Oceania

    this remains an outstanding category requirement. if the category existed before 1971 it should still exist

    The situation is nowhere near as simple as this. Gilbert and Ellice Islands remained united until 1976, not 1971. So the British Commonwealth category should read Gilbert and Ellice pre 1976.

    In 1976 they separated. Gilbert Islands issued their own stamps from 1976 to 1979 when they were renamed Kiribati. I would suggest a new category - Kiribati/Gilbert Islands in Australia & Oceania which would avoid a category for just three years of stamp issues totalling 83 issues.

    Ellice Islands became Tuvalu. There is already a category in Australia & Oceania for Tuvalu. Just to confuse things there is also a category in British Commonwealth for Tuvalu. I would suggest that the Tuvalu category under British Commonwealth should be closed and the listings in it moved to the Tuvalu category in Australia & Oceania.

    I hope this is clear and is helpful!!!
