<h2>
|
|
0. Preliminaries
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This CAcert subsidary policy (sub-policy) specifies how
|
|
Organisation Assurance is conducted on Organisations
|
|
registered by official Trade Office Registries,
|
|
following the European style of
|
|
Chambers of Commerce.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</p>
|
|
This sub-policy extends the Organisation Assurance Policy
|
|
("OAP").
|
|
It specifies how Registries are determined,
|
|
what steps to take in adding them, and roles and responsibilities.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>
|
|
1. Scope
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p> This sub-policy is applicable
|
|
to organisations registered with an official Trade Office Registry
|
|
("Registry").
|
|
Approved Registries are tabled in
|
|
paragraph Appendix 1 of this sub-policy.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>
|
|
2. Requirements
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This section describes any scope-specific requirements that are not otherwise defined in the Organisation Assurance Policy (OAP).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
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>
|
|
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>
|
|
Where a local Registry requires foreign entities to register,
|
|
this registration <s>MAY NOT</s> <b>MAY</b> be used for Organisation Assurance.
|
|
<font color="green"><i>See USA debate, foreign entites must Organisation Assurer in home state.</i></font>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Example: companies are frequently incorporated in the United Kingdom,
|
|
but operated primarily in another European country.
|
|
These foreign entities may require to register locally
|
|
and submit financial and/or yearly reports, extracts of home documents,
|
|
reports from professionals such as accountants, etc,
|
|
to authorities in the operating country.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>
|
|
2.2 Records
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Records supplied by the Registry must be one of the following forms:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Formal originals on paper,
|
|
where they are extracted from the Registry
|
|
in an independent manner;
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Digital statements from an online service provided by the Registry,
|
|
acquired by the Organisation Assurer
|
|
in a secure and independent manner;
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Historical supplemental documents may be accepted
|
|
where it can be shown that
|
|
material changes have not been made
|
|
(e.g., via absence of subsequent
|
|
submissions in official document listings).
|
|
Such acceptance should be applicable to the particular
|
|
jurisdiction, as documented by the Organisation Assurer,
|
|
and under any process he determines.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The set of records supplied by the Registry is called the Extract,
