I'm forwarding this notice about LCSH Tentative List 12a (see below), in case it's of interest to anyone. The list contains proposals to change subject headings pertaining to "Mexico, Gulf of" to "America, Gulf of" (and also Mount Denali to Mount McKinley).
In case the link doesn't work when forwarded, here it is: <a href="https://classweb.org/tentative-subjects/2412a.html?loclr=eashal" id="m_4172989166867576923m_-8394303828175645162OWA264d9c88-0854-de13-d760-133590d39570" title="https://classweb.org/tentative-subjects/2412a.html?loclr=eashal" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="margin:0px" target="_blank">

listcomments@loc.gov</a> by Tuesday, February 18, 2025 (which is <b>TODAY</b>), if folks have thoughts, or want to raise concerns. I believe there's no stricture against international librarians sending comments to <a href="mailto:listcomments@loc.gov" target="_blank">listcomments@loc.gov</a> about this—it's not just
American libraries only. And since the LCSH is used around the world, I'd think international commentary would be pertinent and welcomed.</div>
