Ok ...
I just requested more information on the terms and conditions as I couldn't
find this publicly.
I'll open a legal issue as soon as I get the information.

occasions, I was told that even if Apache is not a research or academic
institiution, they would be willing to grant the ASF the same status. However
someone with the formal capacity to do so would have to fill out the form.

It sounds like that form is more like a legal agreement. On that basis
I'd say start with the legal committee. It may be VP Legal that signs it
but the first step will be to review the terms.
