Not all of the issues I listed are things I am personally experiencing. They are general issues that apps experience (long hours, long RL time frames, downsides of cabal restrictions without the powers designed to compensate for them).

The point is that being qualified is meaningless without someone to judge it.

I work in a project management division so on a regular basis I have to explain to people that they have to deal with ####ty situations for long periods of time before we can address their issues. The reason behind this is that we have limited resources and we have to make our decisions for selecting projects based on what will help the most people at any given time, which leaves certain groups out in the cold. I get that with limited resources you need to prioritize.

The issue in CF land, and it occurs for every cabal/religion, is that there are periods where the dedicated administrators are not able to support the needs of all of those dependant on them. There are several other people who could support those needs but they cannot or will not because the people in charge are not allowing them. The barrier to satisfying people is as simple as giving a nod. When the barrier is that simple to overcome it is downright silly to not do it. It is retarded to not create standards to deal with these issues on an ongoing basis. It becomes super retarded when you look at it this way, the people who would be covering are other imms, most imms at this point have been leaders of several cabals. For instance twist would be just fine interviewing battle apps because he has been a battle leader many times. That is but one instance but the imms have been around long enough that it is reasonable to entrust them all with such a low level decision making task such as cabal induction.

As administrators imms should be asking the question, is having direct control of this more important then the enjoyment of the playerbase. When it comes to induction for non scion/herald the choice should be obvious and clear, share responsibility.
