I dont know what your request was about or who it was that talked to you, but it probably means they had some reservation about your request and needed to think about it?
I requested to join in the group, sorry for not saying that earlier
Oh, I think this is the group that we have not been able to get the founder to open up membership approvals. Hopefully the person you talked to can find him or figure something out for you, sorry for the inconvenience.
