Will the Condor be ABA approved?

The San Francisco Chronicle/Examiner reported last week that biologists
say the California Condor "could be thriving in nature soon."  A record
20 chicks were hatched this year and the population has increased to 150
from only 30 a decade ago.

I assume the condor does not meet ABA listing standards.  Two questions:
1- When was the last time anyone could list a condor by ABA standards?
Or was it before the ABA was founded? 2 - What will have to happen for
the condor to be approved for listing with the ABA again?

Too bad Greg can't check one off for this year.
