Permission level: Meeting organizer
Find pending registrations
For a working group meeting of type: Face-to-face or Hybrid that has the status: Registration deadline or Ongoing, any registration submitted by experts are not automatically confirmed. They have the registration status: Pending, until they are validated by a WG meeting organizer.
A warning message explaining the same will be displayed to the participant, when they submit the registration:

In the meeting Overview page, participants can see the phrase Your registration is pending instead of Registered

As a meeting organizer, you can find the registrations that have the status Pending. To do so:
- Go to the Attendance tab of the meeting
- In the Search filter box, type the word "Pending" and hit the Enter key
- All registrations with status Pending for the meeting will be listed.

- Participants with registrations in Pending or Disapproved status will be unable to register to social events, or view list of attendees.
- Confirmed Participants can register to social events when meeting status is: Registration Open and Registration Deadline
- WG Officers can self-register to the meeting without any further validation (status: Confirmed, automatically)
The above rules for pending status of registrations apply only to Face-to-Face and Hybrid WG meetings. They do not apply to Virtual WG meetings.
The above changes to WG registrations have been implemented following the TMB Resolution 28/2019 (adopted at the 74th TMB Meeting).
