WIP: Implement new Contribution Agreement process to support Series LLC change #910

Open
@krook

Description

New CNCF projects will use the digital Contribution Agreement document to transfer their project to the CNCF as part of onboarding. This supports the new approach of establishing new projects in their own Series LLC (details, GB resolution, GB vote) and replaces the previous process that focused solely on trademark assignments.

CNCF staff need to update various documents to support this change for projects now onboarding that have not yet completed a trademark assignment form and for those new projects that will onboard in 2025.

Existing projects that have completed a trademark assignment in the past will be converted to a Series LLC model in phases in 2025. Work will be tracked separately for that work.
