Following up on this and (since there weren't any replies) CCing all
listed consultants.

Please reply to [email protected] by 2026-09-10 and let us know:
a) whether your entry is still valid and accurate,
b) if you are listed more than once (e.g. as both a person and
   a company), which entry should be kept.

Entries for which we do not receive a response will be removed from
the consultant's list.

Thank you in advance.
