A GM norm can be based either on the old category system or the performance of the player (since 1998). In the latter case a player may choose to include or exclude his own rating from the calculation of the tournament average. In addition it seems that the "performance-method" is only allowed in Swiss (as in Berg's case), Scheveningen or Team Tournaments. Unfortunately the handbook at the FIDE-site (www.fide.com Yes, it's up again) has not been updated for a long time, but if someone is interested I believe that the latest version is available on some European sites (I have a link somewhere).
