Trying to get help with group join UI issue

I couple of weeks ago tried creating an issue for a problem (see below),
then sent an email similar to this one, to w3t-sys@w3.org. I haven't had
a response, so today I tried to join this group again with the same
results, and then saw this site-comments email address.

Please can you forward the following issue, or tell me how to get help
with this.

Thanks

ISSUE:
Unable to confirm affiliation 'None' is blocking joining Solid community
group


DESCRIPTION:
I just signed up to a free/public account
https://www.w3.org/users/110158 and don't have any affiliation.

Trying to join the Solid community group:
https://www.w3.org/community/solid/join

If I click 'Sign contributor agreement' it says:
> Your request failed because you did not confirm your affiliation.
Please try again.

If I click 'try again' it takes me back to the join page.

I don't have any employment affiliation so have entered None and don't
understand if there is a way to confirm this, or if it just won't let
unaffiliated people join the Solid community group.

Any ideas?

PS I don't know what the 'Raised By' drop down should be so I left it as
is. Maybe I'm not supposed to know about this, but can't see how else to
find help. I got here by searching 'confirm affiliation' and found an
issue about the UI from 2013 I think.
