Hi Beverley, I'm following up as Samuel's profile is project protected. If he remains projected protected, he will need to be managed by the Australia Project - see Help: Project Protection for more information. Please let me know if you think that project protection is still required, otherwise I can remove. Due to the variations of surname, I'm inclined to think it would be a good idea to keep him protected. You would be very welcome to stay on as a profile manager as well. Thanks, Gillian, Leader, Australia Project.
