Yes, and the slowliness of the registration caused at least my vote to
be neglected.
I applied for a membership on November 10th and was accepted yesterday
(!). I then immediately applied for a "normal" membership instead of the
default "associate" membership, that was accepted today at 11:46 UTC.
That was sadly 46 minutes too late :-(.
Additionally the expiration date of my membership was set to the date of
my application plus one year. That means, my membership lasts
effectively only 11 months due to the delay between registration and
confirmation.
