We do seem to have a real case of quis custodiet ipsos custodes! There doesn't seem to be an ombudsman or other authority over the PSIRA, so it looks as if we have to wait until they decide to get back to us.
The general confusion and two registrations, I think does, though, mean that there's no reason for anybody to be concerned about their liability for checking whether OAR is registered. The onus is on PSIRA to make the matter crystal clear and either give OAR a clean bill of health or shut it down. To my mind it's wrong for OAR to be left in limbo as well as for its customers.
