[Community-Discuss] Regular updates on Number Resource Applications and Approvals

[Dewole Ajao]

Responsibility of requesting entities is what I meant, Mark. Please do 
not attempt to declare anything on my behalf.

If an applicant knows the community sees in realtime, he/she is less 
likely to put in phony stuff that just wastes the hostmasters' time and 
increases the time taken to process legit requests.

Dewole.
