Contributors anywhere in the world can print the papers, sign them, and fax them to us. Or scan them and email them. Since people looking for this information found statements that gave the wrong idea, I think some of our pages about assignment procedures need to be updated or clarified. If you saw an fsf.org URL which contradicts what it says above, please report the problem to assign@gnu.org. If they find out about all the misleading pages, they will fix them all. > > Do you have any suggestions for how to simplify parts other than step > > 4? > Having a way to track emails going out on a specific topic would be > helpful; this would make it easier to track when you last emailed some > one about assignment. I am having trouble understanding that concretely. Which emails do you mean?
