Discovery
Three assureres confirmed that the names on the account belonging to the respondent were indeed switched.
The correct first name was found to be 'Eugen' and the last name was found to be 'Mayer'.
No malfeasance was discovered.
The error by the assurers was found to be caused by a misleading user interface on the CAcert website.
There are currently no certificates issued on the account, hence there are no problems regarding CPS compliance.
Ruling
I hereby give CAcert Support the order to change the name on the account of the respondent so that the firstname becomes 'Eugen' and the last name becomes 'Mayer'.
No certificates shall revoked. No points will be lost on the account.
Execution
See Ruling.
