At the moment, the only problem I see is DAM being a bit behind. I am sure
they will pick up the work soon or ask for more people to become DAM members
to help them out. Joerg and Christoph, am I right? :)
What other problems do you see? We AMs are doing our work and depending on the
applicants, it takes some time to get through the process, but there are DDs
out there that care to make a difference and they do the (sometimes boring)
work of being an AM. Having said that, I welcome every discussion of making
it easier for qualified people to get through the NM process more quickly or
enhance the NM process to get qualified people into being DDs.
