A quick definition of diplomacy:

Diplomacy: The way countries talk to each other to solve problems and make agreements. Sometimes they talk openly in front of everyone, and sometimes they talk secretly behind closed doors. They might send people back and forth to help with the talking. Diplomacy is also the job of people called diplomats who work for their country to make sure things go smoothly with other countries.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Diplomacy is the art and practice of negotiating between different countries. It involves discussions and negotiations to resolve conflicts and make agreements.

There are different types of diplomacy:

  • Open diplomacy: Diplomacy that is conducted with free access to interested observers and members of the press.
  • Parliamentary diplomacy: Diplomacy that takes place in international organizations according to their rules of procedure.
  • Secret diplomacy: Diplomacy that is carried out behind closed doors.
  • Shuttle diplomacy: Diplomatic negotiations assisted by emissaries, who travel back and forth between negotiating countries.

Diplomacy can also refer to a country's foreign policy and the collective functions performed by a diplomat.

Example: When two countries have a disagreement, they may send diplomats to negotiate a solution. For example, if Country A and Country B have a trade dispute, they may send diplomats to discuss the issue and come up with a solution that benefits both countries. The diplomats may use shuttle diplomacy to travel back and forth between the two countries to facilitate the negotiations.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
