I'm not sure what you mean by this. If we put the new system up next
week, we can do one of two things:
(a) finish processing the current queue, then work on the new
applicants, or
(b) politely ask all current applicants who have not been assigned an
AM to reapply with the new form.

Let's say it was up and running, and that the changeover period (which
will be similar anyway) were not an issue. Which would then be
better? Or is some combination appropriate?
