Lovely, but none of your proposals appear to directly address the major problems you identified: applicants stuck waiting for AM assignment, waiting for their AM to issue a report, waiting for Front Desk to approve, and waiting for DAM approval.
Everyone seems to be OK with the actual AM-NM interaction part, which is cool. Combining DAM and front desk would help, certainly; three stages of approval is simply ridiculous, particularly when the last two are severe bottlenecks. Perhaps having more advocates could be used as a substitute for portions of the tedious and complex process. To brainstorm, perhaps someone with 10 advocates should guarantee automatic DAM approval (if they got that far), 20 advocates would guarantee automatic FD approval (if they got that far), and 50 advocates would allow the entire process to be skipped? :-) -- Nathanael Nerode <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Theocracy, fascism, or absolute monarchy -- I don't care which it is, I don't like it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
