I am not. It does not mean they are accepted, but likely that they have the chance to be considered.
Here, no applicant with a criminal conviction of any sort can proceed to ballot without reference and permission from GL. Without that permission, anyone aware of the offense have themselves...
As Sec of my lodge, I have a pretty good idea of how my two Craft lodges deal with these. I would automatically be involved with any applicant with a criminal conviction.
