I'm forwarding this to the FSF's copyright clerk who should be in a position
to tell us what's missing.

To recap the current state as far as I know it:


The disclaimers I sent in for both Asher Langton and myself
were the same wording as the one from Christoper Michael Chambreau.
We did that to make it easier to get the GNU Assignment. :-)

Secondly, the letter I sent to the copyright clerk contained three
items. From past emails it appears all this made it to the FSF.

A LLNL disclaimer for Asher Langton.
A LLNL disclaimer for Michael Kumbera.
An unsigned assignment form filled out for Michael Kumbera. (I
cannot sign that as a LLNL Employee.)

Is there more information needed to get MY assignment? I
understand Asher still needs to send in the assignment forms
to go with his disclaimer from LLNL.

Asher is currently TRYING to get his assignment paperwork. Once
that gets to him do I have to get Lab Legal produce a NEW
origional disclaimer letters and send everything in again?
