Rejected. I am a little miffed.
It is a cat that I know has not had an editor in over a year (the last one passed away after a serious illness). A cat in which I have significant National and International contacts.
In my application I included unique sites of significant content (including .gov) that were not in the Directory. I outlined my relationship to the industry related to the cat.
Well, according to the ODP, the category is already well represented, or is broader than typically assigned to a new editor.
Perhaps they would accept me if I applied for Wombat Breeders in Lower Slobovia?
I personally know of at least 6 sites that have waited in the queue for over 6 months in this cat.
I also know that this cat was completely (and IMHO, needlessly) reorganized about 18 months ago in a way that created over 100 sub-cats of questionable distinction.
Don't complain about overwork if you will not accept the volunteers that offer up their time!
Apply for a more limited cat? Given the current structure of the cat in question it would be meaningless.
Have a great day...
