Oh-kay, I'll buy that.... >The number of people waiting for an AM report is around 0 and no >relevant problem [1]. Hmm. Maybe the number is not significant. However, I'm currently waiting for an AM report, which is not reflected in the database. My AM, Brian Nelson, has told me that he has enough information to complete my Tasks & Skills check, although he has not updated the NM status database to say so. (I don't know why not; I suppose he's so busy he can't even update the database.) If he actually needs any more information, he needs to tell me what. I'm not in a great hurry or anything, but I do wonder what's going on every now and then. I'll continue to send status reports to him as I do things. It's a little dispiriting though. Sponsored NMUs are sufficiently tedious that I do them significantly less often than I would do regular NMUs. >The number of people waiting for DAM approval has gone down constantly >in the last 18 months is currently below 10.

Ok :-) In conclusion, nothing really needs to be done, because there aren't any bottlenecks, eh? -- Nathanael Nerode <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bush admitted to violating FISA and said he was proud of it.
