    5. -
- -

3.2 Subsidiary Policies

- -

-The nature of the Subsidiary Policies ("SubPols"): -

- -
  1. - SubPols are purposed to check the organisation - under the rules of the jurisdiction that creates the - organisation. This does not evidence an intention - by CAcert to - enter into the local jurisdiction, nor an intention - to impose the rules of that jurisdiction over any other - organisation. - CAcert assurances are conducted under the jurisdiction - of CAcert. -
  2. - For OAs, - SubPol specifies the tests of local knowledge - including the local organisation assurance COAP forms. -
  3. - For assurances, - SubPol specifies the local documentation forms - which are acceptable under this SubPol to meet the - standard. -
  4. - SubPols are subjected to the normal - policy approval process. -
- -

3.3 Freedom to Assemble

- -

-Subsidiary Policies are open, accessible and free to enter. -

- -
  1. - SubPols compete but are compatible. -
  2. - No SubPol is a franchise. -
  3. - Many will be on State or National lines, - reflecting the legal - tradition of organisations created - ("incorporated") by states. -
  4. - However, there is no need for strict national lines; - it is possible to have 2 SubPols in one country, or one - covering several countries with the same language - (e.g., Austria with Germany, England with Wales but not Scotland). -
  5. - There could also be SubPols for special - organisations, one person organisations, - UN agencies, churches, etc. -
  6. - Where it is appropriate to use the SubPol - in another situation (another country?), it - can be so approved. - (e.g., Austrian SubPol might be approved for Germany.) - The SubPol must record this approval. -
- - -

4. Process

- -

4.1 Standard of Organisation Assurance

-

-The essential standard of Organisation Assurance is: -

- -

      2. -
    2. on COAP form.
      3. -
    3. in CAcert database.
      4. -
    4. form or type of legal entity is consistent
      5. -
    -
  3. - signing rights: - requestor can sign on behalf of the organisation. -
  4. - the organisation has agreed to the terms of the - CAcert Community Agreement - and is therefore subject to Arbitration. -
- -

- Acceptable documents to meet above standard - are stated in the SubPol. -

- -

4.2 COAP

-

-The COAP form documents the checks and the resultant -assurance results to meet the standard. -Additional information to be provided on form: -

- -
  1. - CAcert account of O-Admin (email address?) -

  6. - Date of completion of Assurance. - Records should be maintained for 7 years from - this date. -
- -

-The COAP should be in English. Where translations -are provided, they should be matched to the English, -and indication provided that the English is the -ruling language (due to Arbitration requirements). -

- -

4.3 Jurisdiction

- -

-Organisation Assurances are carried out by -CAcert Inc. under its Arbitration jurisdiction. -Actions carried out by OAs are under this regime. -

- -
  1. - The organisation has agreed to the terms of the - CAcert Community Agreement. -
  2. - The organisation, the Organisation Assurers, CAcert and - other related parties are bound into CAcert's jurisdiction - and dispute resolution. -
  3. - The OA is responsible for ensuring that the - organisation reads, understands, intends and - agrees to the - CAcert Community Agreement. - This OA responsibility should be recorded on COAP - (statement and initials box). -
- -

5. Exceptions

- - -
  1. - Conflicts of Interest. - An OA must not assure an organisation in which - there is a close or direct relationship by, e.g., - employment, family, financial interests. - Other conflicts of interest must be disclosed. -
  2. - Trusted Third Parties. - TTPs are not generally approved to be part of - organisation assurance, - but may be approved by subsidiary policies according - to local needs. -
  3. - Exceptional Organisations. - (e.g., Vatican, International Space Station, United Nations) - can be dealt with as a single-organisation - SubPol. - The OA creates the checks, documents them, - and subjects them to to normal policy approval. -
  4. - DBA. - Alternative names for organisations - (DBA, "doing business as") - can be added as long as they are proven independently. - E.g., registration as DBA or holding of registered trade mark. - This means that the anglo law tradition of unregistered DBAs - is not accepted without further proof. -
