I would like to hear a little more from Nikolay on the idea of incorporating a provisional rating to resolve the issue: does that mean on request getting rid of a player's rating and starting with a new provisional rating? Would we still base this on the player having a significantly higher USCF/FIDE rating or would you let anyone apply?
I think whatever we do is going to involve a fee (rating points for money concern) because it would mean extra work by the CFC office and that is not free.
