@Tobi_WMDE_SW Can you or @sowmya.guru fill out the first part of the form I just added to the task description please?
@KFrancis Can you arrange for NDA signing for @sowmya.guru please?

@Tobi_WMDE_SW and/or @sowmya.guru, is this request only to add a new approver or is it _also_ for access for Sowmya Guru themselves?

Please provide an email address for @sowmya.guru. If it's preferred not to post it here, please send it to kfrancis@wikimedia.org. Thanks!

Please disregard the last message. The NDA has been sent for signatures. I'll confirm when it's complete. Thanks!

@Tobi_WMDE_SW and/or @sowmya.guru, is this request only to add a new approver or is it _also_ for access for Sowmya Guru themselves?

@Dzahn the original intention was to get her added to the list of approvers, but it seemed it became a ticket for getting her access in the first place also. In the end, we need both anyway, and if we can get everything done via this ticket, that's fine!

Gotcha, Tobi. Yea, seems no problem to do both in this ticket.

The NDA is signed by me!

The NDA is signed by me!

Thanks! Once we get confirmation it's on file I will get going on the access.

Hello all, I am confirming the NDA is fully signed. Thanks!

Ah thanks Mortiz, I should have realised to do that.

@sowmya.guru @Tobi_WMDE_SW this access should be in place now if you want to try it out and let us know if things are ok.
