It's funny how you can live in cloud cuckoo-land and still insist that it's the fault of a National organization if International records are not recognized (certified, listed) by the FIA.
In almost all cases in disputes concerning Bonneville racers, an international record was attempted at Bonneville during or at the end of a SCTA event. A permit was obtained, fees paid, officials from NHRA or USAC present, ACCUS fully aware, in brief everything done by the book.
The record was broken, ACCUS was satisfied that all the conditions were met and an application containing all the necessary documents was forwarded to the FIA in Paris to be examined by the Record Commission. Then... nothing. One month.... three, one year after, still nothing.
When the competitor(s) allerted SCTA, they were referred to the ACCUS which PROVED them that the documentation had been dispatched ON TIME (there are time limits attached to the procedure) and had been RECEIVED on time too.
When ACCUS made representation, inquired, NOTHING.
It's all well and good for you to say that the ASN (ACCUS in this case) "keep records of all national and International records set within its jurisdiction", they CANNOT give FIA international or world record certificates, can they? they CANNOT amend/update the FIA record list, can they? They are only an intermediary in the chain and if the files get lost, or the commission don't sit, or if for any other reason FIA don't want to play its part, it's a dead end, isn't it?
The ACCUS has come clean out of this; they have done their job, that you keep implying they don't, without knowing the facts. In fact, those who have obtained redress, can thank the ACCUS for it. It takes a bit more than "get the website writer changing the errors and filling in the gaps" (sic) to do that! If it's was left to our American friends, they would have solved this shenanigan long time ago: they are usually pretty slick to organize anything. But unfortunately, they have to rely on good old European FIA to get what they deserve, and Europe let them down.
It's in view of this, and to protect its members against further rip-off, that SCTA/BNI decided to take over international and world records during ITS events. When you read that months ago, you went completely off tangent, saying that SCTA wanted to take over FIA and starting a malicious campaign against LAN.
