Fred,
Considering how tough St. Peter Paul Archipelago is to work, considering
how few resident amateurs there have been (over time) on that entity,
considering how tough it has sometimes been in the past for some to get
permission to operate from there... I strongly suspect that the DXCC desk is
merely being prudent by verifying that the appropriate documentation has
been obtained and exists.
Yes, I know it's all on Joaquim's web page. That's not the point.
I further also suspect that the DXCC desk is following a set procedure in
obtaining the information that they are asking for. And that they do so in
the way that they do so that they are not accused of playing favorites,
which of course happens anyway (consider how many DX'ers are convinced that
OH2BH pulls the strings behind DXCC, facts to the contrary not withstanding)
Consider further recent and less recent events -- two of the three recent
operations from 7O, the various now discredited 9U ops a few years back due
to alleged licensing irregularities, infamous characters like Romeo and Don
Miller whose operations turned out to be less than kosher -- should we not
expect that the DXCC act prudently and cautiously, even if it is annoying or
inconvenient or takes some time?
In short, yes, it's unfortunate that they are asking for the information
again. But without knowing the reasons why (and I don't want to or have a
need to) let's give them the benefit of the doubt and just operate on the
theory that they're making sure that the i's are dotted t's crossed.

I don't think he need to clear anything. All his story is on his
Homepage. He isn't a foreigner, he is a brazilian, he is working
as a researcher there and I don't know why they are asking for
anything else on DXCC Desk. Everybody knows that for other
cases nothing was needed even for a DEMO operation that
worked only 27 or so radio friends with no papers at all.
But this is another story and I'm not his lawyer. His E-mail his
homepage are on QRZ.COM site. Look for his home page and
decide if after what you see there any paper is needed (all licences
are already at DXCC Desk for long time now). Regards to all.
