+<h2>0. Preliminaries</h2>
+This sub-policy describes how Organisation Assurers ("OAs") conduct assurances on Austrian 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 OAP.
+<br><br>
+a. This sub-policy is applicable for the assurance of Austrian organisations 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 Austrian organisations:<br>
+a. Knowledge on common legal forms of organisations in Austria.<br>
+<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 Austrian jurisdiction.<br>
+b. Organisations must not be revoked 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 register, either via an online interface 
+or via physical means (organisation is asked to carry the 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. Extracts from the official register should not be older than 4 weeks.<br>
+d. The AO maintains a list of which specific documents and tests can be acceptable for the certain types
+of organisations.<br>
+f. The OA can ask for additional documents if needed to validate required information for the assurance action.
+<br><br>
+
+<h2>3.3 COAP</h2>
+In addition to the checks defined in the policy, the COAP form for Austrian organisations requires:<br>
+a. The OA must keep all documentation for 10 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 excerpt from the register)<br>
+&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; iii. as delegated within the organisation (proof of delegation needed)
+
+<h2>3.4 Meeting</h2>
+The OA can decide to a demand a face to face meeting in the office of the requesting organisation, to verify
+the authorisation of the request.
+
+<h2>3.5 Price</h2>
+The OA must inform the requestor about any upcomming costs and fees, and get the confirmation from the requestor.
