Thanks. Is that all of them? I remember for OICNW there was one set of assessments in separate policy letter from the bulk of them.

That should be all

Here’s one for you…
Is a 1600/3000 ton oceans master with ARPA, GMDSS, ECDIS, VSO, med care provider, and flashing light (but does not have OICNW specifically stated on his MMC) allowed to sail as master on a vessel over 200 tons in international (STCW) waters? If so, then why doesn’t my STCW license say OICNW, if I am authorized to sail as one? And can I sign OICNW assessments for other aspiring masters and mates of this level if I do not have OICNW on my MMC? If so, can’t I sign myself off and send in the assessments to have OICNW added to my license? I’m very confused

A master license says master, not OICNW. You should have stcw II/2, where II/1 is OICNW. If you never had OICNW you will need to do the assessments to get a 3m/2m license and no you cannot sign then off for yourself.
