Filling out a Chronicle online takes me less time than doing it in-person:
The bottom row is a constant. XP/Fame should be as well.
The top row is simply copy/pasted from the sign-in sheet, with maybe a few extra presses of the Space Bar for formatting.
Day Job is the one box you edit from sheet to sheet, plus the occasional scenario that grants extra Reputation.
Compared to when I used to GM in person and had to hand-write all of that, filling out Chronicles online is a breeze.

Do have to say that despite the roadblocks that Gen Con threw in our face at last minute, the above assessment is pretty spot-on.
Heck, with pre-information the chronicles were ready for the players to do *whatever* they were going to do doing the scenario, and it made things a lot easier.
It's actually making me dread face-to-face a bit more in the future aside from the personal space, social distancing issues....

This applies to observation games too. I was not willing to flex on several points. 1) using an established set of criteria to evaluate GM performance 2) observation by more than one source or 3)engaging in speculative solutions to issues. But I don't remember conversations where I told anyone their recognition would cost thousands of dollars or be impossible to achieve.Thanks for addressing this point.
In the discussions on the Underwater forum about the (at the time) proposed rubric myself and other (European) GMs raised that the requirement for the Rubric to be 'VC only' would raise a significant barrier. We identified the ramifications would be the need to travel across significant distances - even to other countries - to play with another VC.
The discussion was raised again on the public forum where rubric was discussed openly and with more detail. Once again it was noted that the VC only piece was a significant hurdle (and the travel piece and costs involved established once more).
It has also been raised in this discussion.
It's not a theoretical issue anymore, it's an actual one - I'm about to hit my 4th Nova (of course that is now pushed back a couple of months since my table count went backwards from the retrospectively-applied Free RPG nerf) but we're pretty much here now.
Whilst we're not being told it should cost us thousands, we've been pointing out since as early as April 2019 that this will be the case.
To move forward, the next step would be to open a conversation with your RVC and myself. Email is probably best, though the VO discord works as well. Including answers to the following would assist us in finding evaluators that are familiar with your desired game-run method. "What is your projected schedule for wanting to complete these reviews? Will you be completing any observations in physical space? Have you approached an Online VO for one of your observations? Are you comfortable GMing in a digital environment? If so, what platform(google slides, VTTs, webcams)?"
