<li> use of colours to meet PoP 5.3,</li>
<li> fixed some other references to Board as Appeal. Proposed to incorporate these without further discussion.</li>
<li> Reviewed and changed the term CAcert to CAcert Inc. where clear. Proposed to incorporate these without further discussion.</li>
</ul>
<li>Iang: 20110117 Changed 3.4 title to match the intent of the paras more closely, in <span class="change">BLUE</span>.</li>
<li>Iang: 20110112 Tuned text in <a href="#3.3">3.3</a> to reflect ultimate final &amp; binding status in 3.4. Also swapped order of terms to more customary form. Shown in <span class="change">BLUE</span>.</li>
<li>Iang: 20110107 <b>Added proposed text in <a href="#3.4">3.4</a> to switch the Appeal from the Board to a Panel within Arbitration.</b> Shown in <span class="change">BLUE</span>. This change is substantive. </li>
<li>Iang: Several changes to fix terms up:
<ul>
<li><span class="change2">20101229</span>: Completed <span class="change2">steelblue</span> changes from <i>Users</i> to <i>Members</i>.</li>
<li><span class="change2">20101215</span>: Added <span class="change2">steelblue</span>. Term <i>Registered User Agreement</i> changed to CCA, as explained above. </li>
<li><span class="change2">20101215</span>: Added <span class="change2">steelblue</span>. Term <i>Registered User Agreement</i> changed to CCA, as explained below. </li>
<li> The historical background: The change in terms (shown in <span class="change2">steelblue</span>) repair errors in production. The DRP ran ahead of other documents especially CCA in its approval process. Later on, in policy group, <a href="//wiki.cacert.org/PolicyDecisions#p20080106.1">we changed the term <i>User</i> to <i>Member</i></a>, at 11th hour in the approval process for CCA. </li>
<li> <b> Therefore</b>, with addition of <a href="//wiki.cacert.org/PolicyDecisions#p20100306">p20100306</a>, this change is proposed by Policy Officer to be incorporated into next approved change without a vote on these changes in terms. If anyone wants to put it to the vote, go ahead! </li>
