1. CCLA is never used instead of an SGA, they serve different purposes. The SGA 
is for a body of work that pre-exists entry into the foundation. The CCLA is an 
optional document that says future work by named individuals can be contributed.

2. Yes (although secretary tries his best to CC the appropriate people on his 
replies)

3. Yes

4. Pass - so I'll repeat the question for others - The incubator drop area [3] 
doesn't seem to exist. Where should I commit the tarball once everything else 
is in order?

Subject: IP Clearance Questions

I'm working on filling out the necessary IP Clearance paperwork for code 
donation and have a few questions (forgive me if they are stupid, this is my 
first time through the process):

Based on the IP clearance template documentation [1]:

1. When should a CCLA be used as opposed to a grant [2]?
2. How do I verify that a grant or ccla has been acknowledged by the ASF 
Secretary? Poll the grants.txt/cclas.txt files for changes?
3. I assume I don't commit anything until the grant/ccla has been acknowledged. 
Is this correct?
4. The incubator drop area [3] doesn't seem to exist. Where should I commit the 
tarball once everything else is in order?

Thanks in advance,

-Taylor
