time frame between request for approval and acknowledgement of request?

[Lawrence E. Rosen]

OSI has a confusing queue.  Plus the board has been involved in
strategic issues regarding the open source definition, licensing law and
patents that have interrupted license approval for some licenses.
Should we go with the "squeeky wheel" process: The license that gets the
most conversation and comment ("buzz") on license-discuss gets expedited
attention from the OSI board?
