Pierre, does FIDE allow online events to be rated without an arbiter present at every playing site?

No, only Hybrid Chess (three human resources per venue: one local organizer, one local chief arbiter and one local technical assistant, improperly stated as local technical arbiter in the rules) can be FIDE rated.

Online Chess Fair Play Rules are here in the Appendix 1 https://handbook.fide.com/files/hand...egulations.pdf .
