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 >
As 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 >
