< / p >
< h2 >
0. Preliminaries
< / h2 >
< p >
This CAcert subsidary policy (sub-policy) specifies how
Organisation Assurance is conducted on Organisations
registered by official Trade Office Registries,
following the European style of
Chambers of Commerce.
< / p >
< / p >
This sub-policy extends the Organisation Assurance Policy
("OAP").
It specifies how Registries are determined,
what steps to take in adding them, and roles and responsibilities.
< / p >
< h2 >
1. Scope
< / h2 >
< p > This sub-policy is applicable
to organisations registered with an official Trade Office Registry
("Registry").
Approved Registries are tabled in
paragraph Appendix 1 of this sub-policy.
< / p >
< h2 >
2. Requirements
< / h2 >
< p >
This section describes any scope-specific requirements that are not otherwise defined in the Organisation Assurance Policy (OAP).
< / p >
< h3 >
2.1 Organisation
< / h3 >
< p >
This sub-policy is applicable
to organisations that are, and are intended to be,
registered with the official Trade Office Registry.
The Registry itself defines what forms of organisation
may be registered. They may include, amongst others:
private companies, clubs Societies & Associations,
partnerships, cooperatives, mutual societies, foundations, etc.
< / p >
< h3 >
2.2 Unincorporated Organisations
< / h3 >
< p >
< b > Registered Names.< / b >
Where an approved Registry specifically maintains a register for
local entities that trade without formal incorporation,
the Registry entry will present independent evidence of the
name, as demanded by
< a href = "http://www.cacert.org/policy/OrganisationAssurancePolicy.php#5" > OAP#5.d< / a > .
This may apply to
organisations such as
Sole Traders,
Doing-Business-As traders (DBAs),
Partnerships,
Church and Religious groups,
etc.
< / p >
< p >
Such entities have differing legal statuses
with different liabilities.
The named entity may not be capable of legally becoming
a Member of CAcert,
< i > independently and separately from the individuals within< / i > .
The Organisation Assurer (OA) must then take care to identify which individuals
are Members, and which are therefore the natural legal
entities behind the names.
< / p >
< p >
The general standard for assurance of an unincorporated entity
with a Registered Name is that the result is
equivalent to assurance of an individual Member, or Members,
with the addition of the Registered Name.
< / p >
< p >
There is no limit to the number of Registered Names that
a Member may have.
< / p >
< p >
< b > Foreign Entities.< / b > < br >
Where a local Registry requires foreign entities to register,
this registration < s > MAY NOT< / s > < b > MAY< / b > be used for Organisation Assurance.
< font color = "green" > < i > See USA debate, foreign entites must Organisation Assurer in home state.< / i > < / font >
< br >
Example: companies are frequently incorporated in the United Kingdom,
but operated primarily in another European country.
These foreign entities may require to register locally
and submit financial and/or yearly reports, extracts of home documents,
reports from professionals such as accountants, etc,
to authorities in the operating country.
< / p >
< h3 >
2.2 Records
< / h3 >
< p >
Records supplied by the Registry must be one of the following forms:
< / p >
< ol >
< li >
Formal originals on paper,
where they are extracted from the Registry
in an independent manner;
< / li >
< li >
Digital statements from an online service provided by the Registry,
acquired by the Organisation Assurer
in a secure and independent manner;
< / li >
< li >
Historical supplemental documents may be accepted
where it can be shown that
material changes have not been made
(e.g., via absence of subsequent
submissions in official document listings).
Such acceptance should be applicable to the particular
jurisdiction, as documented by the Organisation Assurer,
and under any process he determines.
< / li >
< / ol >
< p >
The set of records supplied by the Registry is called the Extract,
defined below.
< / p >
< h2 >
3. The Trade Office Registry
< / h2 >
< p >
Examples of
Registries are: < i > Chambers of Commerce< / i >
in (continental) European,
< i > Companies House< / i > in the United Kingdom,
< i > Ministry of Justice, Finance, or Commerce< / i > in east Europe,
and the < i > Secretary of State< / i >
in each of the United States of America.
< / p >
< h3 >
3.1 Criteria for a Registry

registered with a formal Trade Office Registry.

< / li >
< li > The Registry is formally
empowered to register corporate entities
(organisations)
under national law;< / li >
< li > The Registry has a reliable search facility service
that provides reliable documentary evidence of the
registration entry of an organisation.
The service may carry costs which are reimbursed from the organisation
applicant;< / li >
< li > The Registry (or, its search facility)
can provide an Extract of the registration of the entity,
below.
< / li >
< / ol >
< p > Approved Registries are defined in Appendix I.
Addition of new Registries is by means of the routine
Policy on Policy process,
and is controlled by the policy group,
on submission by Organisation Assurer.
< p >
< h3 >
3.1 Extracts
< / h3 >
< p >
The Extract is the set of records provided by the Registry.
The Extract is to include the following information
