What does "Indivcla" mean when joining as individual to community groups? #636

Closed renyuneyun closed 3 months ago

renyuneyun commented 3 months ago

Describe the issue When joining a W3C Community Group, I see the last item is "Indivcla (Required)" (see figure below). However, that does not seem to be a word based on online search. Could anyone explain what it means, and/or if it is a typo?

In principle, I believe we are not expected to agree to something we have no ideas of, right?

To reproduce

When joining any community group (e.g. Solid Community Group, Notation 3 Community Group), and look at the "individual" half, it is always there.

Expected behavior

A clear and concise description of what this actually means.

Additional context

Based on the other half of the information (joining on behalf of an organization) and the context, I believe this checkbox roughly means "I agree to ...", but have no idea what the thing to agree to is.

@renyuneyun thanks for the report. Indeed, there's an issue with the label of that checkbox. It should be 'Individual CLA (contributor License Agreement)'.

We will fix the label

The label has been updated. Thanks again for reporting the issue.
