+
+<h2>0. Preliminaries</h2>
+This sub-policy describes how Organisation Assurers ("OAs") conduct assurances on Dutch organisations. 
+It fits within the overall web-of-trust or assurance process and the Organisation Assurance Policy (OAP) of CAcert.
+<br><br><br>
+
+<h2>1. Purpose</h2>
+This is a subsidiary policy to the Organisational Assurance Policy (OAP).
+<br><br>
+a. This sub-policy is applicable for the assurance of organisations in the Netherlands only.<br>
+b. This sub-policy is an implementation of the OAP.<br>
+c. In the below, where the Assurance Officer (AO) is referred to, this includes his local delegate.
+<br><br><br>
+
+<h2>2. Organisation Assurers</h2>
+
+<h2>2.1 Requirements for the Organisation Assurer</h2>
+In addition to the requirements defined in the OAP, an OA must meet the following requirements for assuring Dutch organisations:<br>
+a. Knowledge on common legal forms of organisations in the Netherlands.<br>
+b. Must pass an additional test on local knowledge even if he is already an OA.<br>
+c. Should help the AO to define local requirements.
+<br><br><br>
+ 
+<h2>3. Process</h2>
+
+<h2>3.1 Organisations</h2>
+Acceptable organisations under this sub-policy must be:
+<br><br>
+a. Organisations created under the rules of the jurisdiction in the Netherlands.<br>
+b. Organisations must not be revoked or pending by a competent authority with direct oversight over the organisation.
+<br><br>
+
+<h2>3.2 Documents</h2>
+The organisation has to provide documents to prove the essential standard of Organisation Assurance as defined in the policy:<br>
+a. The primary mechanism to prove existence is to get an official extract from the official Trade Office (Kamer van Koophandel) Register (Extract), either via an online interface 
+or via physical means (the organisation is asked to carry these direct costs)<br>
+b. Where not available, an official document will be required from the company, subject to such checks as defined by the AO.<br>
+c. If copies of official Extracts from the official register are provided, they must be officially certified<br>
+d. The Extract should not be older than 4 weeks. The Extract should state registrated official administrative details of the organisation.<br>
+e. The AO maintains a list of which specific documents and tests can be acceptable for the certain types of organisations. At least the following information is required: official name, address, administrative contact(s) and email addresses, domain name(s), legal representative of the organisation and restrictions.<br>
+f. The OA can ask for additional documents if needed to validate required information for the assurance action.
+<br>
+Note: from 31st of December 2009 all Dutch organisations (also: ministery and public offices, religious sociaties, liberal professions, partnerships, one-man business, association of house-owners, etc.) will need to be registered with the Trade Office.<br><br>
+
+<h2>3.3 COAP</h2>
+In addition to the checks defined in the policy, the COAP form for Dutch organisations requires:<br>
+a. The OA must keep all provided documentation and will maintain digital readability if documents are provided in digital format for 7 years.<br>
+b. Signatures from organisation officials must meet the following requirements<br>
+&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp i.&nbsp&nbsp as legally specified for the type of organisation<br>
+&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp ii.&nbsp as specified in the official documents (f.e. the extract from the Register)<br>
+&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp iii. as delegated within the organisation (proof of delegation needed)
