Dave Cormack has praised the Premier League for their incoming 'positive' changes to improve VAR.
To progress the technology, it has been announced that the EPL will release audio from the VAR studio to enlighten fans watching at home about certain decisions.
Supporters will get the chance to hear VAR discussions in the Premier League for the first time as part of a TV pilot episode led by Howard Webb, the chief refereeing officer.
The former official has been working towards releasing the VAR audio in the days after a game, but not live during the course of a match.
He believes this will provide greater clarity to fans, coaches, and players about decisions made on a matchday.
In his previous role working with the MLS, Webb introduced Inside Video Review, which ran through all contentious incidents in a single game week.
And he will conduct a similar show for Premier League Productions, which will air next week on Monday, May 15.
And this is something Aberdeen chief Cormack has endorsed, highlighting how this is a big step in the right direction for the game south of the border.

He wrote on Twitter: "A positive step in the EPL - communication, transparency, openness, and accountability.
"Admitting mistakes is not a weakness. It’s how we learn and make progress. It’s good for fan engagement too, so well done EPL."
Whether Scottish football takes a similar pathway at this stage remains to be seen.
Webb was appointed to the role in December, promising to bring greater transparency and openness to Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the body that controls refereeing in English football.
He plans to release the officials' audio more frequently next season to further help with transparency.
