Thanks for keeping at this. A goodly number of ICLAs come in as separate pages, either png, jpg, or gif. It would be a really heavy burden for me to handle these "the old way" which is manually converting and stapling the pages together. The critical issue (an ICLA that cannot currently be processed) has been ameliorated. I've let the PPMC and the contributor know that they can consider the ICLA to be filed pending our resolution of the issue.
