- m20091220.2 - 2009-12-24 - Request to propose new Software Assessment team members
- That, the board is of the opinion that more software assessment members are needed, and, requests the Software Assessment Team Leader to propose new members (Dirk Astrath, Markus Warg, Bernhard Froehlich and Alexander Prinsier) for addition to the Software Assessment Team, and asks that ABCs be requested as soon as possible.
- Philipp G 2010-01-16
- have been asked (m20091220.2) to propose new team members for the Software Assessment team. I talked to the suggested candidates, roughly evaluated their qualifications and time-budgets, and came to the conclusion that we should start the process with Alexander Prinsier and Markus Warg. Therefore please start the arbitrated Background Checks on Alexander Prinsier and Markus Warg now.

x1) Deadline relates to the end of Thawte Points transfer program as of removal of the 150 points received by the Points transfer. Each transfered Member/Assurer needs to do re-assurances receiving Assurance points and also by doing Assurances to receive experience points. This needs to be communicated to the community.
1.5 New Software - BirdShack
1.5 New Software - BirdShack
New development of the critical system
Notes
- During CeBIT 2009 discussions between PD, Ian and Mario discovered that the current CAcert software (libressl) might be hard to maintain.
- For doing more investigation on this, these three plus Alejandro met up in Innsbruck for a week for digging into it.
- Analysing the current software revealed that the software had grown by time and is not well designed and possibly would not stand an audit.
Status
- stagnent
re new software
- Which other project is related to "new software" beside 1.5?

Notes
1 New Root-Escrow/Recover: Security Policy/Manual authorises procedures under SM9.2. SP lays down several stipulations effecting the escrow / backup situation.
The Security Policy is in DRAFT. The Security Manual specifies the details of the Security Policy.
See NewRootsTask
2 This program needs usage of the 50 pts maximum issuing that is covered under AP. Therefor the initial assurers (if only 2) needs a temporary administrative increase for issuing 100 points in total so the new assurer candidates can start with the assurer training. As all special assurance programs (Superassurer) are frozen by the board motions m20090912.1 that freezes this program and m20090914.2 take it in effect.
2 "Role of this document: This page is for rethinks, discussion, etc. This wiki page is not policy. and is intended to replace the Super-Assurers program." On which list people could find discussion, if there was already one? What does this footnote refer to?
3 is subpolicy under AP("AP" => COD13)

What will happen with the outdated documents on the site, to avoid misinformation? Will be also a measure for a better quality regarding assurance, if people will read actual documents.
Where can people find information about co-auditor to join the team?
- There is no 'join the team process here', co-Auditor candidates will be picked up, interviewed, tested by co-Auditors. You have to read Assurance MiniTOP minutes.
