Pavel has granted me permission to post the PM he sent me:
In short, the main thing with this procedure is: Who handles the envelopes. Because it can in no way be you.
However, I do not want to invest more time with hammering out a protocol before your application has been accepted, Pavel.
The simple reason being: There were many would-be applicants before you who did talk an awful lot but never got around to even submit an application - and that was before the changes to the rules when everything you had to do was notarize and send your application. We spent a lot of time developing protocols and often enough, they simply disappeared.
You do seem close, though. Complete the academic support and you are good to go.

I am sorry I don’t know your name. (Even though as a psychic clairvoyant I should know it just like that) =)
This is Pavel,
I have decided to write you a letter, instead of post on tread, I am not sure how you take it…Basically I would like to ask you for help if you do not mind. I really have no one to help me out with all this stuff, I know you don’t really believe in my powers, but still I want to ask you for help.
To help me out with protocol and preparation of it, in a sense that to tell me what you think and what is your opinion about this or that…
Well this coming week I have a meeting with one of the guys who agreed to make an affidavit that I need, we will discuss time and date when I will show him what I do. So I will have last necessary papers that I need to submit my claim to JREF.
So for now I have decided that I will claim to JREF that I can see “predict” what photo is in side the closed envelope, just by holding it in my hands and concentrating ( If it will be considered as a paranormal claim). I am planning to come with my set of 20 (unless I decide to raise number of photos) But let say it will be 20 photos, that will be completely different from each other, like horse, gun, statue of liberty, Ship, human etc.. As I said in tread, I will clear all possible objects from the photo, to make it blank 1 thing only, that will be better for me and same time will illuminate any disputes. So I will claim that, out of 20 photos will be drown 4, and I will describe minimum 3 out of 4 drown out of 20. Not sure, how does 4th photo counts but if that would be 3 out of 20 only and I will be right the chance for that is 1:1.400 that over 1.000 that JREF expect to bit for the first test. So, as I would expect it to be is:
1. I come 30-40 min minimum before the test to the place where it will be handled (as I need to get used to place a bit to be calmer).
2. 20 photos that was agreed before will be taken to other room, and in presence of my friend will be placed in double envelopes and shuffled. Than 4, will be drown and taken to the room and passed to me for test. I will hold each envelope in my hands up to 5 min each, and than will name what photos are in the envelopes. (Possibly, I will make a drawings of the symbols that I will see during the session, and will take a few minutes to figure out what inside before I will make finale answer).
That how I see the test. I am telling It to you, as I think that would help you to understand my point and will help to help me to make a protocol or to feet any existing one such as Ancou for example. My eyes will be tightly covered to illuminate light I will cover my ears with plugs to illuminate as much sound as possible, still will require silents in the room. The envelopes will be handled to me when my eyes will be already closed. Although I will need 10-15 min to relax and concentrate, with my eyes already covered and ears. So I will be sitting and when I am ready, the envelopes will be passed to me. 20 photos will be known to me before, that will help me in fact, as I DON’T SEE exact photo as I said already, when I hold envelope in my hand I see some kind of reflection but not exact photo, so knowing the symbols will make it easier to figure out what is inside and name exact photo. I don’t think that if I will know photos before, make my claim in any ways not sutable. As as far as I know people do not know what photo in side the envelope by just holding it in the hands. I think you understand what I mean. JREF ask for 1 to 1000 odds to be beaten, so by guessing 3 out of 20 different photos will beat odds 1 to 1.400.
So as I suppose that would be evident enough.
What do you think about it? Can it be any way reasonable for performing this way?
For the test I think for now will define 2 main conditions salients and in the room where it will be performed should be NO any photos or pictures on the walls or anywhere elts ( as that would affect me possible, like when I see photos they in a way get “printed” in my mind and then can affect visions during the test).
That is main for now. As I said, I will need help in protocol, and as I see you have experience and know enough to help me out, if you don’t mind. As from your words it take allot of time, so the sooner I make it the better for me, so the actual test will take place.
Regards,
Pavel
