I'm not sure I am, Bill's approach is far more elegant. Only those with an approved RTI may putback (whoever they may be), osolid is supplied with RTI. Advocate grants access to putback, (removes access afterward?) Going forward, OpenRTI system (be it webrti or a replacement) is used to automate this side of things. That also provides both a convenient "You need a contributor agreement or to be an employee" check, and a point of contact for those unaware of the current shape of the world. -- Rich
