Hello,

My Agency has several developers that plan to contribute to an Apache proje=
ct.  We noticed the requirement for an ICLA to be signed by each contributo=
r, yet these developers do not have the authority to grant patent or copyri=
ght licenses on behalf of the government.  As an alternate solution, is it =
acceptable for the person who has the authority to grant these IP rights si=
gn an ICLA on behalf of all developers which, thereby listing all governmen=
t contributors?

Thanks in advance for your assistance,


Karen
