A company or organization can sign a Corporate CLA (CCLA) and the CLA manager can maintain a list of authorized contributors from their organization. They can also blanket approve a GitHub Organization or email address domain for their contributors

A quick step overview of the process is

1. The Corporate CLA is signed by an Organization's authorized signatory. 
2. The CLA Manager adds approval criteria for their organization's contributions at organization.lfx.linuxfoundation.org
3. The organization's contributors open a PR in the project's repository and follow the bot's comment to select their organization and be verified against the approval criteria in number 2.

Corporate CLA Manager

You are a Corporate CLA manager (CCLA manager) if you are the person authorized to manage the list of approved contributors under your company’s Corporate CLA. With this responsibility, you use EasyCLA to:

...

• Coordinate signing the CCLA.
• Approve Contributors.
• Add or Delete CLA Managers.

Will EasyCLA allow multiple signatures on a CCLA?

Currently, no.  If your organization requires more than one person to sign a CCLA, you will need to download it, sign it and then scan it and upload it to your support ticket.  The support team will then manually upload it for you.  In the workflow, you will see the button to download the PDF:

Corporate CLA Signatory

You are a Corporate CLA signatory (CCLA signatory) if you are authorized to sign contracts, such as the project’s CLA, on behalf of the company. With EasyCLA, you can:

• Sign a Corporate CLA on behalf of the company—as a signatory you need to have legal authority to sign documents on behalf of the company.
• Review and sign a Corporate CLA by request.
• You do not need to sign in with an LF account to sign the CLA. You will only need an LF account if you are also the CLA manager.

My CLA manager is no longer with the company.

If your listed CLA manager is no longer with the company, you'll need to either re-sign the project's CLA with a new named CLA manager, or provide a support ticket request to update the CLA manager. Your company's council can provide guidance on the best course of action.
