Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to demonstrate sustained national or international acclaim. The submitted evidence was deemed insufficient, as the 'Certificate of Recognition' was only for participation in a regional exhibition, the associations did not prove they require outstanding achievement for membership, and the published materials were not from major media, lacked required English translations, and included promotional flyers rather than independent journalistic coverage.
