[Dx-qsl] OX/NA1SA rejected by DXCC desk

Greenland is a tourist destination. I am totally confused.
Are people operating from Carribean islands also asked to provide
documentation ?

In reviewing the DXCC Rules it appears certain documentation may be required
in Sec. I, paragraph 7 and Sec. III, paragraph 3(a) through (e).
The following is from Sec. III, paragraphs 2 and 3.
2. The following points should be of particular interest to those seeking
accreditation for a DX operation:
a) The vast majority of operations are accredited routinely without a
requirement for the submission of authenticating documentation. However, all
such documents should be retained by the operator in the unlikely event of a
protest.
b) In countries where Amateur Radio operation has not been permitted or has
been suspended or where some reluctance to authorize amateur stations has
been noted, authenticating documents may be required before accrediting an
operation.
c) Special permission may be required from a governmental agency or private
party before entering certain DXCC entities for the purpose of conducting
amateur radio operations even though the entity is part of a country with no
amateur radio restrictions. Examples of such entities are Desecheo I. (KP5),
Palmyra I. (KH5) and Glorioso Islands (FR/G).
3. For those cases where supporting documentation is required, the following
can be used as a guide to identify those documents necessary for
accreditation:
a) Photocopy of license or operating authorization.
b) Photocopy of passport entry and exit stamps.
c) For islands, a landing permit and a signed statement of the transporting
ship's, boat's, or aircraft's captain, showing all pertinent data, such as
date, place of landing, etc.
d) For locations where special permission is known to be required to gain
access, evidence of this permission must be presented.
e) It is expected that all DXpeditions will observe any environmental rules
promulgated by the administration under whose authority the operation takes
place. In the event that no such rules are actually promulgated, the
DXpedition should leave the DXpedition site as they found it.
Maybe they were requested to a landing permit, passport entry or similar
document. I did not inquire of the DXCC desk as to the specific reason for
rejection.
