Maybe some other conditions should be checked. 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 ####-##-##. As your account shows assurances given, CAcert needs to make sure that the data protection rules are obeyed. Therefore CAcert needs to prove that the CAcert Assurance Programme (CAP) form used for the assurances are destroyed in a secure manner. Please answer this mail within 21 days (deadline set to: ####-##-##). In the answer you have to point out that you destroyed all CAP forms in your possession in a secure manner and now want your account deleted. The answer should be signed with CARS (CAcert Assurer Reliable Statement) [1]. Otherwise this case will be reviewed by an Arbitrator. 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. In this case your assurance points, Experirence points, domains, and certificates would be retained. For more information see [2].

To differentiate this case from the standard case a20111128.3, an 'A' is added after the date in the field "CCA termination date". Depending on the latest expiry or revocation date of the certificates, there are two different steps to proceed. === a: No certificates used or the last certificate has expired or was revoked more then 3 months ago === Document the delete account issue by adding it to the table at the end of the [[Arbitrations/Audit/a20111128.3|Audit Section of precedent case a20111128.3]] with: * Support ticket number * Arbitration number + consecutive number => a20111128.3.# * CCA termination date (this is the SE's execution date) and add an 'A' after the date to mark it "with Assurances" for a20140713.1 instead of a20111128.3 SE anonymizes the account following the [[Arbitrations/Training/Lesson20/DeleteAccountProcSEv3|Delete Account Procedure]] using the anonymising string stated above.
