The board has total freedom to reject the license, and they should.
Meanwhile, I am concerned that it looks as if it is your _personal_
action if you dally in psychoanalysis of the submitter rather than the
submission while waiting for that to happen. Do the dignified thing and
just get the board to say no, without further conversation.
