2 Business

2.1 Accept topic 2.1 as Late Business

It was accepted, Motion m20140111.2

2.2 Create a subcommittee

None of the additional Australian members showed up. So nothing essential could be done. Michael will contact Australian members again. David McIlwraith was regarded acceptable as a passive member too.

Then the discussion drifted to 2.4, so this was handled too here.

It was stated that passive members can be just that. They exist only on paper and never attend any meeting. But they can if they want.

In the first step in CCA and CPS as little as possible should be changed. Some regard the CCA as kind of terms and conditions. But finally it is a full contract. It is not quite clear if parts of the CCA can be changed unilaterally or if an explicit consent of all community members are required. But since a longer time a CCA rollout is planned, so everyone shall agree the CCA anyway if not done. Once concern could be that we might have a lot of assurers who are not bound into the new agreement so old assurances become a problem when we think about arbitration.

2.3 Submit OFT report

The report was submitted to OFT. No more news.

2.4 Move CAcert Inc. to another country

The internal legislation (arbitration) can stay as it is. There is not much legal interaction between CAcert and the outer world, so it is no important issue if new CAcert organisation is an a country of common law or civil law. And if there are any issues with CAcert there is secure-u as a buffer to keep everything running. Eva has a friend whos is German lawyer and another fried who is lawyer is NSW, so she will ask them what we have to regard. Eva stated that people have to accept the move and the CCA change wherever we move. If this proves true, most problems would be solved. If possible we should do the CCA rollout first, to sweep out all nominal members and other special cases. Then the move to the new CAcert organisation runs smoother.

Most discussion on that topic should be off board meeting in the board mailing ist or other suitable places, wher4e we have a broader discussion base.
