Dear Jacek,
Thanks for your email. I understand your frustration and I sincerely
apologise on behalf of ISOC for the delay in responding to the
original application. As you may know there have been some staff
changes at ISOC recently and I only became aware of the application
with the email from Igor on the 9th April. I reviewed the application
on the 10th April, and it was sent to the Chapter Delegates list for
review the same day as the application was completely in order.
I hope that this clarifies the situation.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further queries.
Best wishes,
Anne
