True, but for the WGM norm the key reference appears to be paragraph 1.45d in section B-01 of the FIDE Handbook.
From which I quote.............
WGM norm, at least 1/3 with a minimum 3 of the opponents (MO) must be WGMs, IMs or GMs.
Phil, you did not mention the GM title.
Andy,
that is correct I did not mention the GM title.
For completeness the same FIDE handbook gives at paragraph 1.45 b
For a GM norm, at least 1/3 with a minimum 3 of the opponents (MO) must be GMs.
However if I am interpreting that document and the contestant grades correctly
The grading performance requirement of GM norm was achievable with a 100% score
Getting thread back onto topic ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a quiz question
At which point in this tournament did 7 norms from this tournament become impossible?
- quite possibly before it started because FIDE would never have believed a set of results giving 7 norms =o
They ask you for the pgns for norm tournaments now because of that

Which links to the answer to my question.
7 norms became impossible as soon as one of the titled players dropped half a point against an untitled player.
It was always going to happen.
