I applaud the foundation for getting an electronic signature method in place.
However, I have to say that to my mind echosign is nothing more than "authentication theater", and I wonder if it is going to make us look more than a bit clueless to the tech community. I'm surprised that a lawyer would consider a "signature" generated from typed text to be useful for anything. If you are are going to accept the typed signature, just accept the typed signature.
I don't know what this is talking about. Is there an announcement somewhere I missed? Or has the PSF declared announcements to be old-fashionable and despicable?

Brian Curtin was rolling out the announcement(s) - the blog post went live automatically before he could wake up in chicago time and send out the email announcements:

So no, no one being evil (but you can assume that). Auto-post times in blogger just beating people.
