Re: [eclipse.org-committers] eSignature via HelloSign, was: Committers Agreement Open Ended
|
Hi
I complained about this privately.
Denis Roy conceded that I had a point in expecting that a trusted
institution such as www.eclipse.org should propagate the trust to any
subcontract such as hellosign by exploiting its service as
www.eclipse.org/.../hellosign/...
thereby assuring us that the EF has verified that hellosign is providing
a service that the EF has assessed. Allowing noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
to provide an unexpected invitation to transact Eclipse business at e.g.
hellosign/.../eclipse/.. is IMHO unacceptable since how can we really
tell that we are not being redirected to a variant of
trojans.r.us/.../eclipse/....
Regards
Ed Willink

Up to this point it was fine - as an individual contributor, I've signed
the contributor agreement with a party I trust but, at the same time,
our agreement has quite a limited scope so that I do not expect some
legal quirks to backfire at me in areas unrelated to the agreement.
Now, there is a 3-rd party, HelloSign (a DropBox company), that would
provide legally binding eSignature on my behalf:

From: Eclipse Foundation <noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: Reminder: IMPORTANT: Action Required - Update Required to your Eclipse Individual Committer Agreement is awaiting your signature
Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2019 20:13:28 +0000
Reply-To: HelloSign <noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Eclipse Foundation is awaiting your signature
[...]
To simplify this process, we are using HelloSign [1] to provide a
secure and legally binding eSignature experience for the exercise.

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It claims to reduce the amount of paperwork required from committers but
it does not, quite the opposite.
First, it brings in a new party that, by default, I do not trust in
providing legally binding signature on my behalf.
Second, to retain my Eclipse Individual Committer status, I have to find
a local layer that is professional enough to give a legal advice on
conventional/electronic signatures at the intersection of international
and local laws of:
- the State of California, USA
- Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
- un-named non-EU country

Ciao, Michael
PS: Of course, this is not legal advice.
