I recall us working on the FAL criteria, and I even recall when we came up with the concept of a Federation Agreement, I even recall my wife thinking we were all quite daft, listening to one of our meetings as we drove down to the beach; but I don’t recall much more. So, as I was glancing through the criteria, I was struggling to answer the following:

Can you be 63C compliant, without a federation agreement, a federation authority or a federation.  I think the answers are no, yes and I don’t think so.

That is to say, I think our criteria is set up to require an agreement, and folks that you are agreeing with – even if no one is “in-charge.”  I will eventually get into it deeper, but I base this on our criteria that says, “in the absence of a Federation Authority, the parties in the federation must organize the creation of a Federation Agreement between themselves.”
