It's not a FIFO queue, it's up to the DAM to decide in what order he processes the applicants. The same applies for the FD queue: they try to match applicants with suitable AMs. This is nothing personal it might take longer to go through all of the correspondence for one applicant than it takes for another one. Please be patient, I'm sure your application will be processed soon. > BTW: I often hear the argument that you don't need to be a DD to > contribute to the project.
