Why does it take 24hrs to review my application?
Great question, we are glad you asked. If you are creating a  Directory account that requires you to fill out an appication for review you have special access to the news section of the DOES platform. We hope that you agree, with this access to DOES users comes great responsiblity and should not be taken lightly. To protect the integrity, quality, and trust of the DOES news section, we believe it is appropriate for this extra layer of verification.
