Yes, we did already complete the paperwork for their work contracts.

The GNOME Foundation legal advisers recommended they sign an additional
Copyright Assessment form, but never provided us with a copy of the
form for them to sign.  I just had a meeting with Karen today to get
this moving again.  We will likely ask Alan and Sumana to sign the form
when it is ready.

My understanding is that this form is just a simple agreement to confirm
that Alan and Sumana are agreeable to license the work they did for
The GNOME Foundation under standard and reasonable free licenses.  So,
I do not imagine that this will be anything troublesome.
