Did Carolyn say anything about the institutional signatures required by
authorizing organizational reps?

That's a major question mark in terms of how electronic signatures will
work.

I keep track of the PIN's as they are assigned.  I don't know how many
times I've needed to look them up for PI's who forgot what it was.  It's
really much quicker than having to login to FastLane and assign a new one.

I am including a message I received from Carolyn Miller in response to my
question about this subject.

Diane,
Your second alternative is what will happen - you will assign a temporary
password which they will have to change the next time they attempt to log
on
to FastLane.  It is really critical to the electronic signature project
that
passwords be known by only the person signing the document (although human
nature being what it is, there is nothing we can do to prevent the person
from sharing his/her password with others).
