Maybe some other conditions should be checked. Assurances received are no problem. Assurer status without assurances given is no real problem but somewhat delicate. If the member has a role, support should know anyway and can check the staff list. That the member is involved in an arbitration is unlikely, but in case of suspicion, support should check. == Step 1 == Write a mail to the user to make sure that they really want their account deleted. The mail is similar to the one from [[Arbitrations/Training/Lesson20#DeleteMyAccountInitMailing|Delete my Account cases Init mailing]]. === Initial mail to user === {{{ Dear , We received a deletion request for your CAcert account dated ####-##-##. If this does not represent your wish, please respond within 14 days (deadline set to: ####-##-##). Otherwise this case will be acted upon automatically and lead to the closure of your account. If you want to delete your account because you have lost the access to it, an alternative may be to try to recover your account.

Before sending the initial mail to the claimant: * set the next ticket state to "pending reminder" * the pending date to the deadline date * the type of issue to "Delete account precedent". == Step 2 == * if the user confirms the deletion, continue * if there is no response until the deadline, continue (therefore the confirmation and the acceptance of CCA and DRP is not critical) * otherwise see what has to be done The data for the anonymising string is taken from the next number at the bottom of the precedent case [[Arbitrations/a20111128.3|a20111128.3]] following this structure a20111128.3.x where x is the next free number, see [[Arbitrations/Audit/a20111128.3|Audit Section of precedent case a20111128.3]].
