Discovery

Support confirms the Claimant's statement that there have been no certificates issued by this account.

No significant difference to case a20090926.1 can be found.

Ruling

Mirroring the ruling on case a20090926.1 I give the same ruling:

Since no certificates have been created, so there's no way that other CAcert members could have relied on them and no data is needed for certificate processing.

It is very improbable that any disputes are filed against this account in the future, so I judge that the user's desire for privacy beats the remaining risk of CAcert of needing his data for a future dispute.

I therefore rule that

• the primary mail adress should be set to arbitration_a20091116.1@cacert.org

• all name fields of the user's account shall be changed to the string "a20091116.1"
• the Date of Birth recorded in the account shall be set to Jan 01 1970
• all domains and additional mail adresses shall be deleted from the account
• the account shall be deleted afterwards

Execution

2010-01-18 A: Sent request to support to delete the account.

2010-01-28 Support confirms that the ruling is executed.

2010-01-28 A: Notified the Claimant that the account is deleted.
