Hi,

@Nuno thanks for this,
I am encouraging members to check-in several times in the list and I have
to contact them individually which is not efficient and take time to
proceed. hope that we will have surge in confirmations within this week
so yes please send me email offlist to check-in and ask for updating
records if needed, it is quite simple operation.

Best,

Rafik
