A short follow up, regardless of the deadline do this ASAP. There are two reasons to do it even today if possible. One is that it's a first come first serve system for the majority of processes, and second, one day buffer for the admins is not a lot and it's reserved for exceptional cases. In the regular case this will be done with more than a few days time, even though we sent the email a bit late and that's why we extended our internal deadline a bit more.
Thanks!
