<h2>
|
|
0. Preliminaries
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This CAcert sub-policy extends the Organisation Assurance Policy ("OAP") by specifying how the CAcert Organisation Assurance Program ("COAP") is to be conducted by the assigned Organisation Assurer ("OA") under the supervision of the Assurance Officer ("AO") for entities within the defined scope.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>
|
|
1. Scope
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This sub-policy is applicable to European organisations registered with an official Trade Office Registry ("Registry"), following the European style of Chambers of Commerce.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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 MAY NOT be used for Organisation Assurance.<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, defined below.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>
|
|
3. The Trade Office Registry
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Examples of Registries are: <i>Chambers of Commerce</i> in (continental) European, <i>Companies House</i> in the United Kingdom, <i>Ministry of Justice, Finance, or Commerce</i> in east Europe, and the <i>Secretary of State</i> in each of the United States of America.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
3.1 Criteria for a Registry
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
An Organisation can be accepted for Assurance under this policy if registered with a formal Trade Office Registry. The criteria for a Trade Office Registry is:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>The Registry follows the general model of <i>Trade Offices</i>, in that, it is a formal authority for dealing with local trade matters effecting organisations (not individuals);
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The Registry is formally empowered to register corporate entities (organisations) under national law;
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The Registry has a reliable search facility service that provides reliable documentary evidence of the registration entry of an organisation. The service may carry costs which are reimbursed from the organisation applicant;
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The Registry (or, its search facility) can provide an Extract of the registration of the entity, below.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Approved Registries are defined in Appendix I. Addition of new Registries is by means of the routine Policy on Policy process, and is controlled by the policy group, on submission by Organisation Assurer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>
|
|
3.1 Extracts
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Extract is the set of records provided by the Registry. The Extract is to include the following information about the entity:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<i>location</i> (at least within Registry's area),
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<i>type</i> of organisation,
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>full <i>name</i> of the organisation,
|

|
|
<li>unique registration <i>Identifier</i> or number within Registry.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
