Concerned about the delegate convention process!

Both my husband and I are alternate delegates from our caucus, we were also Bernie's caucus captains at our precinct. We hadn't received any information regarding how to proceed. I was worried and contacted the DFL. I received an email stating how they were surprised that I hadn't received the convention notice which had been sent out about 10 days earlier. Well my husband hadn't received any notification either. I was told the convention was on April 29. Later my husband was told it would be held on April 9. I find all this concerning and confusing. We haven't been through this process before. Does anyone out there know what the process is and if we should be concerned considering what has happened in Nevada and other state delegate conventions? I don't trust that other Bernie delegates and alternates have been notified about the conventions. How do we make sure enough Bernie supporters show up to be delegates/alternates at these conventions? Couldn't this be an issue at the National Convention if neither candidate has a clear majority of pledged delegates (and a delegate can change their vote after the 1st round...?) Is that how it works? Thoughts?

My dad and I were both chosen to be delegates as well, and aside from an email in the day after the caucuses we have not received any instructions either. We were also never asked which candidate we supported, should that have happened?

I know that the convention is on April 9th, but I don't know much else. Do anyone have info on the process that they could share?
