[Chapter-delegates] Persistent problems with new membership system

[Joly MacFie]

This is a different issue to the one I raised in the attached thread, so I
have snipped that.

I am not sure if this will help you, Siva, but I have learnt that, rather
than being distracted by the "pending membership applications" section with
it's attractive red number - one is way better off going to bottom of the
dashboard to "manage subscriptions" - there is better functionality there.

The problem I have on A11ySIG is that we have a separate registration form.
I find that if I then take applicants and manually add them as members,
while the AMS will recognize that they are already a global member, if they
have a pending application in the AMS that status is unaltered. Thus while
I have already added them manually, I then have to search the pending
members and "approve" to take them of the pending list. Which is a PITA
(technical term).

Our SIG president M. Shabbir, promised to raise this at the current ChAC
meeting.
