But it would just be so much simpler to eliminate this totally useless
requirement.

It would be even simpler to tell the IGC to take a hike, and tell the
badge lady to quit rejecting badge and record claims over
technicalities. If the IGC wants to go to the trouble of rejecting
claims that the SSA has already approved, let them. I'll bet $10 that
the IGC (remember, its just another big, bloated bureaucracy filled
with people who don't like doing work) will never trouble itself.
After all, if it is clear that the flight actually happened, and any
technical difficulties with the declaration can be cleared up with a
few emails, then that should do it.

If the IGC *does* object to common sense, then its time to drop the
IGC entirely and go our own way with badges and records. I could care
less if a badge award says 'FAI' or 'SSA' - does anyone else in the
U.S.?
