I have sent my registration to the v15@ email account, multiple times
and also again to all the receivers for which I've received gmail
bouncers complaining about refusing the forwarded message with my
address in From: field. I've tried reaching out about that in Matrix
and also only received a reply today and still haven't understood what
exactly I have to do to "register" and/or how I will know if my
"registatation" has been successful.

Despite lacking confirmation of my registration the money for me and my
partner should be in account which has recently been announced in the
wiki -- at the time when I wrote my registration email on March 6th all
I saw there was "TBA".

I'm writing this on the public list as I have never received a reply to
my messages sent to v15@ email, and kindly ask for a confirmation of my
stay and planned participation.
