There seems to be a process gap for getting Legal to look at WMF-NDA requests.

@KFrancis, would you start the process for all of the subtasks?

Hello @JJMC89, @Pintoch, @LucasWerkmeister, @waldyrious, @SD0001, @theprotonade, please email your full name, mailing address, and email address, to kfrancis@wikimedia.org. Once I have this information, I'll process an NDA for you and send for electronic signatures. Thanks!

In my case, it turned out that I already signed the NDA but wasn’t added to the WMF-NDA project (see T375001); do you still want an email from me?

Hi @LucasWerkmeister if you've already signed an NDA, then no need. Thanks for checking!
