 It's a required posting, but is not required to be in the PF, and *I* would
 never put anything in any legally required file or log that is not specifically
 enumerated in the rules.

 The license is ( last I checked ) required to be posted at the control point.
 In a folder at the control point has been accepted as "posted" in a subsequent
 declaratory ruling at some point in years past.
 The CO designation would go in that folder.
 I've never seen a copy of the license in that folder questioned, but the way
 I read the rule, it should be the original.

 Actually, you only need the alternate when the CO is unavailable.
 Not having a designated alternate if the CO *is* available, is not a violation.

 And probably never will be.
 There is no prohibition against adding into the file, or a log, things that
 are not required to be there. But once so added, do become a part of,
 and therefore may not be removed.
