Provide a way to check whether a company signed the corporate CLA

[GBodoBLK]

Hi,

I'm preparing a PR as an employee of BlackRock, and our policy states that all code is the intellectual property of the firm. I'm trying to check if my firm already signed the CLA and I only need to be added as a contributor to it, but the discussion groups and links on this page were removed.

Please acknowledge the issue - we need to proceed with the RWS rollout ASAP and it's being blocked due to the inability to check whether a company signed the CLA.

Hi @GBodoBLK - Could you check if https://cla.developers.google.com/ lists any existing corporate agreements for you? I believe you will need to login using your corporate email.

@krgovind I see the following, but surely that doesn't necessarily mean that nobody from BlackRock signed a contract? Can you please check and confirm if there's any contract in file with BlackRock?

I think what that page is saying is that BlackRock has not signed a Corporate CLA; but it is possible that individual employees have signed it. Individual CLAs are only displayed to the individual, not other employees at the organization.

@GBodoBLK I was able to verify through my internal resources that BlackRock does indeed have a Corporate CLA signed; but based on your view of the dashboard, it appears that you are not a party to it.

We would recommend checking internally within your organization on either becoming party to the CLA, or having someone who's already party to the CLA make the submission. Hope that helps!
