PS I would also prefer not to have to re-sign, but just have my existing confirmation carried over. I don't *know* if there are any implications at my end around re-signing, and my preference is simply to not ask that question (on the basis of why make things harder for myself). But if it's needed, then fair enough.
Because what you don't know can't hurt you?
You're signing a legal document. Shouldn't you understand the implications of signing it before you sign?
Sigh. Trust me that I know what I'm saying, please. I do understand the implications. And re-signing a CLA *will* involve different processes for me than a simple continuance of an existing CLA - even if that CLA is confirmed by the PSF as legally identical to the new one. I can, and will, negotiate that difficulty myself if necessary - but honestly, it's not really the place of anyone on this list to tell me what I need to do in order to ensure my compliance with the CLA and with my employer's policies. I offered the information for awareness, to ensure that the people proposing this change knew that it had the potential to incur extra work for people being asked to re-sign, beyond the mere mechanics of re-signing. I did not expect arguments over my understanding of what I needed to do (nor did I expect the Spanish Inquisition, but *nobody* expects that ;-)) Paul
