The situation in BC is similar to Alberta. We have one IA and an FA who is only occasionally available. I believe that a recommendation from an IA or FA and a second recommendation from the provincial federation President should suffice. There could be guidelines that a candidate has run or assisted in X number of CFC rated tournaments and shown the ability to apply the FIDE rules of chess, use pairing software and set and adjust chess clocks.
