I've found that the Sign the CLA part of [contributors website](https://www.kubernetes.dev/docs/guide/#sign-the-cla) is misleading since it only states: > ... you will need to sign the Contributor License Agreement. The easiest way is to open a PR against the contributor playground repo. It doesn't note the process of signing the actual CLA at easycla part of CNCF website. But when you do a PR, the bot will reject and complains about signing the CLA.
