<li> The historical background: The change in terms (below) was an error 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. Therefore, 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>
