Notes:
Originally raised 2004.08.23. Proposed J. Wren Hunt 2004.08.24
to hold list-email 'discussions' (not 'meetings' in the formal sense of the word) about various topics and at the end of the discussion have a 3-5 (or however long we decide) day period within which to vote, again on the list-email. This seems like we can still get all that needs to be done, done, and without having various members re-arrange schedules.
Aye: ML, DG, NR, Chris Martin, (WH).
Accepted, with 5 days voting.
Originally raised by J. Wren Hunt 2004.08.23. Proposed Duane Groth 2004.08.25 Re-proposed Duane Groth 2004.09.04
to remove the requirement for assurers to retain copies of ID documents, there seems to be no legal or technical reasons to keep it, and both at the Usenix event and AUUG events people strongly objected to the point of not wanting to even sign with CAcert and I think it's more detriment then beneficial with the current requirements...
Aye: CM, WH (DG).
Proposed Duane Groth 2004.08.25
Third, email addresses, there has been no formal policy on who gets an email address or if/when they are later revoked and what format these appear as. Currently all emails were {firstname}@cacert.org. Email forwards are still in existence for adam@ and christian at as I didn't want to cause any further problems in the past, these possibly should now be revoked. I saw in one of Mark's emails about board@, I'm guessing he meant to point it to this list.
Aye: CM, MA
Not apparently Carried?
Originally raised by Duane Groth 2004.08.25 Proposed Mark Lipscombe 2004.08.26
i. As a temporary measure, Evaldo Gardenali be assigned an additional 50 points (bringing him to a total of 200 points), for the next 14 days.
ii. Also as a temporary measure while we set a more formal policy, that we do not require him to keep copies of any ID. He would still need to keep the forms, as Duane previously mentioned.
Aye:
DG, WH, CM, NR, MA
Chris Martin voted Aye to (i) and questioned (ii).
No response to questioning.
Note, in the following, votes on Super-Assurance status are skipped.
Proposed Duane Groth 2004.09.01
to accept my offer to pay for CAcert's domains on my credit card for 1 year (we can deal with extensions later), I call a 2nd vote to compensate my costs from CAcert funds onces it's established the cost in Australian Dollars incurred by the renewal fees.
Aye: NR, ML, CM, (DG).
Minuted 2004.09.15 as cost AUD$44.55.
Proposed Duane Groth 2004.09.01
to transfer my copyright to CAcert with the exception that I'm allowed to retain any/all copies of my own work and have no restrictions on what I do with the code etc.
To make it legal under Australian law there will need to be money given to me, even if this is only $1.
Aye: NR, WH, ML, CM (DG).
Minuted 2004.09.15 as $1 transferred.
Proposed Duane Groth 2004.09.10
to distribute the source code under a CAcert license (derived from the PGP license) http://www.cacert.org/src-lic.php
Aye: MA, CM, (DG).
Although carried, this was then apparently overturned in following decision.
Proposed Duane Groth 2004.09.10
While not 100% complete, the LibreSSL code base is a lot more featureful in a lot of areas that CAcert currently lacks, such as organisational areas and multilingual. At the very least the organisational information on certificates has been asked about a lot and would go a long way to getting increased acceptance within the enterprise, corporate and even the large US Uni's.
I call a vote to transfer between code bases as soon as humanly possible.
Aye:
(DG)
Nay:
ML
Abstain:
most
Not carried, apparently.
Proposed Mark Lipscombe 2004.09.09
1. That the code known as "LibreSSL" be released forthwith under the modified PGP license originally proposed.
2. That we invite Duane to compose an email to this list detailing a migration plan for moving the existing CAcert site to the new code base. This migration plan should include:
* Timelines
* Disaster recovery plan
* Loss mitigation plan
* Testing and acceptance plan prior to launch
* Launch management
Once this plan is received, we should immediately vote on its acceptance.
3. That we maintain CAcert's existing code base as closed source, with a view to revisiting this question once the site has been migrated to the new code base.
Aye: MA, DG, ML, CM.
Carried. 3. apparently conflicts with earlier decision to distribute source code.
Proposed Duane Groth 2004.09.10
Step 1. Publish code for peer review while there is no live data in the libressl database
Step 2. finish off current missing assurance features
Step 3. Import live data into the database once testing of non-live is complete
step 4. give notice of outage prior to changing between code bases, put up outage notice on the website
step 5. recovery plan - live backup cacert site/data
step 6. import live data into new database
step 7. profit!
Time scales on step1 should happen immediately as there is no risk.
step 2 should be completed and tested as soon as possible.
step 3 should be started about a week after step 2 is finished and tested throughly
steps 4 to 6 should occur more or less simutaniously and I'd suggest a week of testing with live data before migrating to hopefully catch all bugs...
step 7 will start to occur within a day of changing to the new code base...
Aye: ML, CM, MA, (DG)
Proposed Duane Groth 2004.09.12
There are a number applications such as wiki's, cvs servers, mailing list and just test development work that would be better housed by CAcert itself then relying on third party services.
Currently there is $3,230.58 in the bank account (once the last google cheque clears)...
A decent supermicro 1RU, with 2x120GB SATA hot swap drive bays, 512M ram, for about AU$1800 (can get an exact price in the morning)
I call a vote to approve the funding for a second server for CAcert.
Aye: WH, CM, MA, ML, (DG).
A second vote was called on prices, and carried.
Proposed Mark Lipscombe 2004.10.05
- Board members, for the duration of holding office, will be assigned 200 assurance points by following the procedures set forward for receiving at least 50 points. Regardless of the number of points held prior to holding office, at the conclusion of their holding office, they will have their assurance points reduced to 150.
- The board, may, at its pleasure, temporarily increase an individual's assurance points to that of a board member (200) for the duration of a special event, in special circumstances.
* This temporary increase must be time limited, and serve the greater good of CAcert.
* Except by special exception, to qualify for this increase, the person must have at least 100 points.
* At the conclusion of this time limited period, the assurer will generally revert to 150 points.
Outside of these exceptions, the standard point allocation and use policy currently on the CAcert website will apply:
50 points will get your name on Client Certificates
100 points will allow you to become an Assurer and issue 10 points
110 points will allow you to issue 15 points maximum
120 " " " " " " 20 " "
130 " " " " " " 25 " "
140 " " " " " " 30 " "
150 " " " " " " 35 points maximum
* You get up to 100 points by collecting assurances from other Assurers.
* You get from 100 to 150 points by making Assurances yourself. 1 Assurance = 2 Points.
* You get 150 points immediately via the TTP Program
* You may get up to 150 points immediately if you can prove your identity to CAcert and prove, that you are an Assurer in another recognized program, Contact Us to see if your current existing program you are in is suitable.

Counter-proposed J. Wren Hunt 2004.10.09
that we adopt Mark's resolution along with my amendment to allow Board Members to keep their 200 point values.
Aye:
(WH)
Nay:
DG, CM, ML, MA.
Not carried!
Proposed by Duane Groth, 2004.10.19:
that perhaps self-certifying might be the best option, if they don't want code signing certs then we felt any assurer with 50 points, and sending us a copy of their document of incorporation was enough, and 100 points if they wanted code signing. I don't think this isn't a long term solution, and it should be reviewed at a later date.
Aye: WH, CM, (DG).
Carried, as a short term policy only.
Proposed by Duane Groth, 2004.10.26:
What if we have a 3 person sub-committee setup to evaluate and make decisions on points increases instead of requiring a board vote on every request, as time goes by and the number of assurers increase I think the number of requests will only increase (potentially exponentially) and notification of events could be given last minute and the 5 day period in this case might not be in the best interest of CAcert.
I think 1 of the positions should be a person on the board and the other 2 could be any members of the association.
Just to speed up decisions I also feel once 2 people vote for or against the motion should pass without needing the 3rd vote, and the person from the board holds the casting vote should there be a tie from a person abstaining to vote.
Aye:
CM, (DG).
Nay:
WH
Not carried, apparently.

To: Treasurer
Teus will be attending LISA in Atlanta in November 14-19 and has asked

2). Mail the remainder of the CAcert t-shirts (the ones we gave out at
USENIX) to him there as well.

"With regards to TTPs: in SA we have Commissioners of Oaths who are authorised to by Act No. 16 of 1963 to witness documents, authenticate documents and signatures, and witness oaths and affirmations. By recent ammendment to the above Act, all CAs are now CoOs. Under South African law, magistrates, a Registrar or an Assistant Registrar of the Supreme Court, Commissioners of Oaths, Notaries Public and Justices of the Peace are legally recognised as people who can perform the tasks needed by you TTP authentication mechanisms. Would a CoO authentication be acceptable for verifying my documentation? We have two CoOs at Rhodes Universitym both of whom can verify both my government documents and my identity from other sources. "
Aye: DG, WH, CM
Proposed by Duane Groth, 2004.12.07:
to introduce both a monthly limit and a time limit on how fast people can increase their points which will then cause only those with scruples and interest to be bothered making assurences, while this isn't perfect either it would serverly limit the impact of the above situations...
The specific suggestion to give a person 5 points (and only 5 points) if they assured 2 or more people in the previous month, so no instant gratification, and limited damage if they do sign up fake users etc...

Currently I'm filing all documents in a lockable filing cabinet, but there is starting to be too much documentation building up and we either need to file the documents else where, or we need to purchase a fire proof safe.
In the case of the fire proof safe it could double up as a repository for off-line backups as well, a 1 hour 1000 degree C safe will cost AU$313.
All those in favour of paying for a secretary service say aye
or, all those in favour of paying for safe say aye.
Aye:
Not Carried, no votes cast.
Proposed by Duane Groth, 2004.01.23:
I think it's imperative that we discontinue use of the current low gpg key and at some stage (it's been suggested anywhere from 1 month to 6 months) we revoke it.
At this stage I think the most pressing issue is that we stop using it to sign any further keys and also that we lower the points needed to get signed by the remaining key to 50 instead of 100 as is current. If we drop the points requirement I see no point in having 2 keys and having one would possibly make things less confusing for people.
So, all those in favour of not issuing any more sigs under the low trust key say aye.

CM, MA, (DG)

In any case this is either to replace the existing webserver so it can be used as the new key server, or this can be used for the key server, not sure that it really matter too much either way since both servers will never bottle neck...

Resignation of MA not as yet accepted by board (CM), and therefore MA's vote accepted.
Unfortunately, the record does not show what the motion was. It seems somewhat the case that proposals made by Evaldo Gardenali 2008.09.28 was in mind of the members:
"CAcert, Inc. DISCLAIMS LIABILITY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW"
But board specifically did not refer to that motion in the vote, nor is EG a member.
Conclusion: No motion was carried.

Effective immediately, I hereby resign from the position of Vice President, and from the board of CAcert, Inc.
No acceptance by board.
Auditor asserts 2007.02.26:
I have already instructed (in a past discussion concerning Eddy at Startcom) that no new deals and partnerships of any form be conducted. That instruction still holds. CAcert is not in a position to undertake any deals because of its lack of management and oversight. Mozilla has been advised informally that the request for browser addition is to be put "on hold."
Not a board decision, but an Audit Directive. Re-affirmed 2007.02.27.
Posted by Duane 2007.03.26:
So with that in mind I am not going to nominate for a board position at the next AGM, and in fact this is my resignation notice as well, as I don't have the time or inclination to be involved any longer in any capacity.
No acceptance by board. On this action, it is believed that the board has falled below the necessary 3 members needed to form a meeting.
