I received an email re WLM 2018 and giving permission to use my images...
You can give the permission, by signing the form at this link:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/L36
(Note that you will need to use the username you used when submitting your photo.)
I followed the instructions as per your email however I am not receiving an email to verify my email.
I am using my wikimedia account credentials. I actually looked up my account details to ensure there wasn't an error in my email address. It appears correct in the account settings. The website https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ displays my email with an extra dot - see below
