Ignore? I read the MoU and every document on the web sites and never saw
anything about this. Can someone explain this to me? I can insert sidenotes,
sign the modified MoU, and join PAB? Can I insert sidenotes that contradict
provisions of the MoU? Can I add that I agree with principles a-e but not
necessarily with anything else in this document? Can I add that my signature
shall not be used as an endorsement of the MoU or iPOC, even by counting it
in a sum of total signatures? Can I add that I refuse to indemnify iPOC or
POC for damages regardless of what it says in the MoU?

What exactly is "the way that Digital signed" anyway?

As I understood it, the MoU is much like a contract. If you write a contract
sign it, then give it to me, and I make changes to it and sign the changed
version, it's not a valid contract until you sign my changed version. Of
course I don't know Swiss law...
