Adding an Affiliate Team

It has been over a month since I requested to have a team added as an affiliate.

Is it normal for an answer to take so long?

Competing in the Premier League, I have only one other established affiliate, having dumped a longstanding second team because of poor conditions.

The board accepted my request and allowed me to find a team. 

The team I selected has no other affiliations. 

I have since had no response from the board.

It is not listed as an option under Board Requests->Networking.

The request is not listed as completed.

BTW, last season I made a request which was rejected by the Board saying they could not work out an agreement, after which I could not make a second request until a new season started.
