	In Geneva, as editor of the IAHC Final Report I apologized for some
careless wording concerning this and let me do it again, for this list.
There are two lists of requirements in the Report.  The first is short and
highly objective to measure.  That is the list that will be used by the
auditors to qualify applicants to be registrars.

	The second list is much longer and often more subjective.  It is in
the "Discussion" section rather than "Recommendations" section, where the
term "recommendation" follows some international agencies' use of it to
mean, well, requirement.

	Anyhow, the second list represents the considered opinion of the
IAHC for what is REALLY necessary to do a good job.  It was our way of
attempting to provide practical guidance, rather than bureaucratic
formality, for those seeking to do the registrar task well.  I.e., it's
just our opinion and does not affect the formal aspects of selection.
