2 Business

Motion to add AGM preparations as urgent business item in Agenda carried.

2.1 Usage of CAcert in name of German association

The German association has trouble identifying itself to the public. The association was founded for supporting CAcert. However, people are wondering how secure-u e.V. is related to CAcert. The association likes to rename to CAcert e.V. or CAcert Deutschland e.V. to clarify the position and to possibly attract more donors.

As the name CAcert shall be included, permission from us is asked.

General opinion that we should not allow other organisations to use CAcert name. Instead could allow them to have link from our site and a perhaps statement like "Supporting CAcert in Germany".

Mario will forward suggestions to them.

2.2 AGM preparations

Main issue is to select a date for next AGM.

Need to allow time for Board Report to be finished. We have Financial report, now need team reports. Marcus volunteered to do final report assembly.

Motion: that we hold our Annual General Meeting for the Financial Year 2010/2011 on November 27th, 2011, 21:00 UTC carried.
