0.1 Introduction. + This sub-policy extends the + + Assurance Policy ("AP" => COD13) + by specifying how a party of candidate Assurers can be led by a Senior Assurer + to self-Assure themselves up to Assurer status. +
+ +0.2 Scope and Authority. + This policy is a subsidiary policy under Assurance Policy (AP). + This policy applies to all Members of the CAcert Community. +
+ +2.1 + A Nucleus event is a training and assurance event that brings many candidate + Assurers up to the level of Assurer in one day, by allocating + the Assurance Points that they would be able to allocate, in advance. +
+ +2.2 + A Nucleus event should be led by a Senior Assurer, + and should be assisted by at least one other Assurer. +
+ +2.3 + A Nucleus event should be proposed to Assurance Officer, + who will provide blessing and assistance in adding the + borrowed points. +
+2.4 + On the day, a quorum of Assurers and candidates must be found + (as present and working). + If the quorum fails, Assurances by the candidates are invalid. +
+ +2.5 + After the event, the Leader must submit a report to AO. + Notification and summary information should be provided to Board, + and included in the AO's annual report to AGM. +
+ +2.6 + The Assurance Handbook (AH) should describe the process and detail of the Nucleus event. +
+ +3.1 + If there is a quorum of candidate Assurers such that + if they were to be Assurers, their allocated Assurance Points + to each other would confirm their status as Assurer, + if so allocatable. + To fold time such that these points are allocatable before + ordinarily approved under the basic mechanisms of AP, + the points must be borrowed from somewhere. + The points may be borrowed by any mechanism + as directed by the Assurance Officer from time to time. +
+ +3.2 + In the longer term, a change should be put into the system + such that the borrowed points may be directly allocated + and tracked for normal governance purposes. +
+ +3.3 + The borrowed points are returned after each candidate is + confirmed as Assurer. +
+ +3.4 + The use of borrowed points and the absence of any system feature + does not remove the duty of each Assurer under AP. +
