A quick definition of procedural point:

A procedural point is a request made in a meeting or deliberative body that relates to the rules or procedures being followed. It can include requests for clarification, information, or order, and may raise personal privileges that affect a member's ability to participate effectively. In some cases, a point may also refer to a service charge or unit used for quoting prices in financial markets.

A more thorough explanation:

A procedural point is a request made in a deliberative body, such as a meeting or a court, that raises a legal proposition, issue, or argument related to the procedure being followed. It can also refer to a service charge or placement fee paid up front to a lender for a loan.

  • Point of clarification: A question asked during a meeting to clarify a procedure or a matter being discussed.
  • Point of information: An inquiry made during a meeting to seek information about a motion's merits or effect.
  • Point of order: A request made during a meeting to suggest that the meeting or a member is not following the applicable rules and asking the chair to enforce the rules.
  • Point of privilege: A motion made during a meeting that raises a question of privilege related to a member's ability to participate effectively in the meeting.
  • Mortgage point: A service charge or placement fee paid up front to a lender for a mortgage loan, usually calculated as one percent of the loan's face value.

These examples illustrate how a procedural point can be used in different contexts, such as parliamentary law, court proceedings, or mortgage loans. In each case, a procedural point is a request made to address a specific issue related to the procedure being followed, whether it is a question of clarification, a point of order, or a mortgage point.

@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. :)
