So I got a question about the release authorization. Does it red flag you to say "no"? Or to not really have a supervisor listed? Or both?

I ran an English conversation club, and while it is somewhat formal, there really isn't a direct supervisor (if anything I'd be me own supervisor). Further, the closest person to a supervisor lives in Japan, and their English (despite my efforts!) would make communicating with AACOMAS/adcoms a little difficult (probably the "living in Japan" thing would be the biggest obstacle)?

Am I fretting to much? I think I'm fretting to much. Either way I'm curious about thoughts on saying "no" to release authorization.
