<P><I>Agreed that experience as TN is not useful for CAcert

</P>
<H2>Manual Points Allocation
</H2>
<P>If the user completes only step 1, the users get 50 points if the
Thawte name matches the CAcert name : The process is fully automated
and the user still can do later the optional steps.
</P>
<P>In case the user completes steps 2 or 3, a Tverify-authorised
Assurer does the following manual checks :
</P>
<OL>
<LI><P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0cm">check if the link to the Thawte
WoT directory matches the name and email address of the CAcert
account, and
</P>
<LI><P>check if the photo id macthes the name and date of birth of
the CAcert account.
</P>
</OL>
<P>the CAcert Tverify community member votes Aye or Nay on the
request (faithfullness) and optionally adds a comment on the reason
why they reject the request.
</P>
<P>If the requests gets 4 Naye, the requests is rejected, the user
has to restart the process.
</P>
<P>if the request gets 4 Aye, the requests is completed and the
appropriate amount of Assurance points are added to the account,
logged as an Tverify assurance. <I>BY WHOM?</I>
</P>
<P>Each user step can granted points only once. The maximum is 150
points. <B>BLECH</B>
</P>
<H2>Manual Points Allocation
</H2>
<P>To be a Tverify Assurer, an Assurer must have:
</P>
<UL>
<LI><P>full Thawte &quot;Notary&quot; status.
</P>
</UL>
<P>Authorisation is done by .... the Support Officer (and confirmed
by ??? Assurance Officer).
</P>
<P>Currently there are 7+ Assurers who are authorised to conduct the
Tverify additional procedure.
</P>
<H2>System
</H2>
<P>An online system is run to accept the certificate. This is located
at https://tverify.cacert.org/ This is a critical / non-critical
system ????
</P>
<H2>Legal
</H2>
<P>WHat do the Thawte docs say about reliance, etc. Is there a
possibility to do this? What is the liability position? <B>Chances
are, there is no liability and no reliance permitted.</B> Which means
... there is no reliance on the Name in the cert.
