Description Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2011-07-19 10:04:46 EDT 
It would be great if we lowered the barrier for people participating in eclipse.org by making it easier to sign documents. We should consider using DocuSign for our documents to eliminate the need to fax or print paper out; we can be green too!

For what it's worth, I did a cursory look at this suggestion a couple of years ago, and my understanding was that the concept of e-signatures was not universally accepted and that the status quo was good-enough.

Given it's been a couple years, perhaps e-signatures are more amenable now and perhaps there is an opportunity here.

We use HelloSign for most documents now.
