Hello,

Thank you for your guidance on the Corporate CLA requirement.
I have worked with XSLab to complete the Corporate CLA approval process,
and I am attaching the signed CCLA document.(file name

Company Information:
- Company Name: XSLAB
- Country: Republic of Korea
- Website: xslab.co.kr

Initial Authorized Contributor (Schedule A):
- Name: Soo-yeon Kang
- Email: sykang at xslab.co.kr
- GitHub Username: ksypassion

Point of Contact:

Please let me know once the CCLA has been processed so I can begin
contributing to the OpenBMC project.
Thank you for your patience and support.

Best regards,
