are you saying that a player cannot be technically disabled unless he/she has this certificate. That would then that CS (and possibly FIDE) would have to have proof of that certificate and keep a record of it similar to PVG. We would also have to know who holds this certificate and exclude anyone from disability status who doesn't. In other words use RNID or RNIB or DWS as the certifying authority. This needs to get sorted out ASAP
