You're correct. Volume is low. It gives every impression of a locked up float, lack of interest, or manipulation. Or a combination of all.
The part (a) requirement of .1 would be satisfied even if they just submitted the application today. DBMM never gave a date for the submission of the application. Only that they confirmed with OTC they met the qualifications.
Part (b) is of concern. The day OTC appoves the application DBMM must be above .1 as well. So if they close below .1 even one day, and that happens to be the day they approve. A dip below the threshold could be bad for the uplist.
