[Eril-l] Vendors Using DocuSign

[Sunshine Carter]

When we receive documents via DocuSign I let them know we can't use
DocuSign and request an editable Word version of the document.  I have
never had any pushback from these requests, although I would prefer vendors
ask first before assuming we can use DocuSign.
