Other Countries
Monaco - Has completed a successful national selecetion and have chosen its winner. However, in Novermber 2022, Monaco has lost its broadcaster and the IECO member changed its country to San Marino, hence even though Monaco is eligible to participate, it does not have any legal member to do it so for Monaco
North Macedonia - Has completed a successful national selection, but when the main contest was postponed, North Macedonia declined to participate in it. After the main contest was held without North Macedonia she was invited to participate in a second chance as well, but declined the proposal again. North Macedonia will lose its membership in IECO by 1 January 2023.
Norway - Due to the main contest being postponed and held in November, the rules of the second chance got changed and now the countries that changed their representatives may be eligible to send their previously chosen song for a Second Chance. Kazakhstan did accept this invitation, however Norway haven't responded for an invitation to participate even though is eligible to do so. It was unknown until the very last minute if Norway will participate, but the final list was published without it.

Incidents
South Korea Connection Loss
During the voting stage of the contest, South Korea member lost its connection and was unable to submit the scores in time. IECO management has advised that the voting can be extended for another two to three days in order to restore communications since it can impact drastically on the voting and there is enough time to make it. However, no connection was received in additional given time as well and the average generated scores rule was implemented in order to present South Korea scores at the end. Voting of the country was created based on Japan, Kazakhstan and Australia votings, hence these countries were the most closest to Korean voting during Q4-2022 contest. As a part of the rule, the determined winner also cannot be changed by the generated voting, but the voting of South Korea only has proven the victory of the United Kingdom.
