It was longer from May to August, IIRC. One of my applicant had waited
2 or 3 months until finally he got registered. After sending 2 or 3 mails
to remind (maybe once per month), I got the reply from the DAM which explains
what is lacking in my "final report" for him. And after sending those
required stuff, he was registered in a few days.
The DAM is busy, all AMs are here to help his task. We should keep it
in mind. Of course, all AMs are just volunteers, as well as the DAM.
So if we don't like this situation, anyone in our team can stop working
at anytime.
I think we AMs should remember the "Coach's Pep Talk" from Dale, our FD.
It started as:

This was told when we started to work to build the current NM system.

From my point of view, the DAM do their jobs with some intermittent pattern.
Usually once in month, so max "waiting for DAM" days would be basically less
than one month. But the order of the process may be affected the time of
initial application sending time as well as the final report sending time.
So prediction is difficult.
I presume that the current delay may be affected by the implementation of
the package pool in our ftp archive. Maybe the delay is just a temporary one.
(At least, I hope so)
