Here is where you're entirely and totally wrong. It indicates a
breakdown in the communication process.
If these people are being delayed for a reason, the reason needs to be
written down publically in the appropriate place.
If the people are in fact being rejected, they should be politely
REJECTED: either being told to try again later when they have more time
or skills, or to please not apply again at all (or for at least X
years); depending on the situation. This may cause some flames
from them, but will clear the air for everyone else.
If there's a > 3 month backlog just because DAM is too busy, the DPL
needs to promptly add more people to DAM, to work in parallel.
Including the DPL himself if necessary. It sounds like this is not
actually the case, oddly enough.
"Your application will either be accepted, or will sit in limbo
indefinitely," is not an acceptable system for *any* organization.
Governments get sued when they do this. I can't understand why people
keep defending it.
