Dear Committee Members, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to kindly follow up on my previous request regarding the Team Description Paper submission. As mentioned earlier, I mistakenly submitted the wrong version of the document and requested permission to replace it with the correct version. I would greatly appreciate any update on the status of this request. Please let me know if any further action or information is required from my side. Additionally, I have not received the list of teams that I should review for their applications. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Best regards, Saif Alameri
