Term XXIV Appeals Questionnaire & Questions Post

[ariake.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the official appeals questionnaire entry!

Have you read the guidelines in our user information? Think you can handle that? If so, feel free to fill out this handy-dandy questionnaire:

ATTENTION ALL NEW APPLICANTS

It has come to my attention that this post isn't a secure place to post appeals due to the fact that people are sent notifications when I'm forced to unscreen applications to respond to them. Because I want to keep your privacy, as the applicant, secure until you actually start your appeal, we are going to experiment with a new procedure.

Please submit your application for an appeal via Google Docs:

APPLICATION TO APPEAL HERE

Once you've submitted that, please comment here with your name and house just so I make sure to get a notification/don't miss your appeal. Since I won't respond to your comment, your appeal should stay private until it actually starts. All further communication will be via email or PM.

This is also the place to come to if you have any questions about the appeals process. Comments are screened.

Hi Katie,

The approval process for your appeal has started! There is one appeal ahead of you in the queue so it's going to take us a little while to get to your appeal with your time frame. I'll be on vacation the first week of August but I'll see if I can arrange for your appeal to start at the very very end of July so questioning can happen that week while I'm gone. We still have some time so let me look over the appeals calendar and I'll get back to you with a more firm date once your appeal is approved and we're a bit closer. But for now, please either plan on starting around July 31st, or August 7th or so. In the meantime, feel free to start looking at the appeals questionnaire, and I'll let you know once your appeal has been approved.

Thanks,

Sara

Awesome, thank you for letting me know! I'd probably have been a bit confused :)

Hi Katie,

Your appeal has been approved! Feel free to start working on your application now. I'll comment again later in July when you can join the community (it'll be a bit before your trip so you can get your appeal in before you go if you want), so look for that comment in a little bit. Do you have any preference for which date you would like to begin? I can either do the 31st (in Asia) or 7th (Asia as well) and after, since I'll be traveling during the week though I should have internet while I'm gone, so it is up to you which you prefer. So please let me know and we can plan on starting then!

Thanks!

Awesome. I'll probably have you request membership sometime around the 15th or so. I'll comment again when I'm ready for you. In the meantime, spend time on your application so you're happy with it and ready to go :)

And that works just fine with me. I'll be bringing a computer and the places I'm staying seem to have internet, so I should be able to keep an eye on things and will be back in time to get the process moving/not delay your answer, so if you prefer that we will make the 31st our target date and go with it. :)

Hi there!

You'll be dropping your application after you join the community so that it is ready to go on July 31st. :)

Speaking of which, it's about that time, so feel free to request membership when you have the chance and submit your application to the queue whenever you're ready!
