Otherwise this should have been postponed earlier ?
My personal opinion is that becoming Official is far too easy, nowadays.
It seems that people believe that they can do a few 'nice pages', a handful of Reports, a Feedback Thread, in which, if you look at it closely, isn't much Feedback, get people to log a lot of hours (whether productive or not) and hey presto after 2 months they automatically become Official.
For this they pay a grand sum of 500 million, which is refunded if/when they become Official and they also receive a free CAP VIII (which is never refunded when a Faction loses it Officialdom).
I have seen a lot of Factions, over the years, go through this System and once they become Official, everything dies off slowly.
Like I said, on the first line, this is my own opinion and when it comes to the Admin vote, I will vote on the required criteria set down. I will look at what is required (part of that is activity, Feedback (from the rest of the Community), RP done by the Faction (preferably not forced by Faction Members, using Alts, to bolster the Pages).
Now, as for the present situation, one of those criteria is unavailable and therefore if we had a vote and told you NO, it would be unfair, to you and your Faction.
Take this time, given to you (because of these circumstances), to strengthen your Faction and RP, so that the chances of you becoming Official is
more likely.
