Russia has extended last season's lists until the end of the calendar year, though for reasons discussed elsewhere Vasiliy Kazartsev will not be receiving any appointments for the foreseeable future.

The Italian season finishes later this week.  I believe that consideration is being given to re-uniting the lists for Serie A and B.  I believe this is being done at least in part to accelerate the promotion of promising younger officials and, presumably, to make it possible to nominate officials to the FIFA lists at a younger age.
