They never need to use the post.  Our clerk emails the papers.
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.

I am having trouble understanding that concretely.
Which emails do you mean?  "Going out" how?
