My point relating to the ECForum postings was this one from Nick Faulks...
So, Dougie Bryson gets himself licensed and appends his name to any CS-run FIDE-rated tournament? It might not be 'technically correct' but sounds like an improvement over FIDE's hoped-for approach (an approach which doesn't really work for smaller chess-playing nations like our own).
Quote:Shortly before the scheme started, when there was genuine confusion, I asked the AC Chairman whether a federation's rating officer, having got himself licensed, could simply insert his own name whenever he registered a tournament where there would be no onsite arbiter. His reply was that this was not what they had in mind, but would work.
