Making iCLA checking easier @Heather Greer Klein
- One hurdle is getting a CLA signed. Especially for one-time, or first-time committers.
  - Also an issue for international contributors
- Could we use something like docusign to streamline this?
- Is an individual iCLA enough to merge a PR?
  - A cCLA is necessary as well.
  - Any contribution not covered with both could poison the well.
- Heather is talking with Oasis about whether it is needed at all.
- What is the offboarding process?
  - We don’t have one
  - The person keeps the iCLA, but the corporate line is replaced with their new employer.
- Current process is “I see a PR, I don’t recognize the contributor, ask if they have an iCLA.”
  - Not automatic, and requires the merger to know everyone.
- Linux has an EasyCLA GitHub plugin.
  - Does this cover cCLAs and iCLAs?
  - Heather will investigate
