   This is an interesting topic and approach. One question to consider is if there is a way other than a contributor emailing secretary@? Perhaps there can be a web form somewhere that can handle the submission of the ICLA. This could be followed by the secretary handling any linkage / "deduplication" through assignment of an Apache ID.
   
   The web form could have the same information as the pdf/odt form only it can actually validate proper project names and apache ids. There would be three cases:
   
   1. Contributor. This would lead to the current workflow minus the filing of the ICLA which would automatically be done by the user's action.
   2. Committer filling out a new ICLA with access to my id. This is essentially like existing id.a.o and whimsy.a.o changes.
   3. Committer filling out a new ICLA to regain access to my id. There would be a special workflow with the secretary.
   
   A public web form would need some type of rate limiting / queueing to prevent abuse.
   
   I agree that naming the files with a hash protects PII. There would need to be some type of index building/validation which would include the metadata for existing/older ICLA files.
