'''ABC:''' the committee explored the modalities for implementing a test phase of the ABCs in their new form. Who should be given the responsibility to examine? With how many examiners? Who would be the first candidates?<
><
>Motion<
><
>I move that the Board of CAcert, Inc. recommend that Ted perform an appropriate number of trials of the proposed new ABC process, confirming people for certain critical roles within CAcert, and report back to the Board afterwards. The background checks carried out during this test period will be fully valid with regard to the policies.<
><
>Votes: '''4 Ayes''', no Naye, no Abstain<
> 1. '''Re-issuing Class-3-Root certificate:''' the validity of the Class3Root certificate expires in April of this year. The Critical Infrastructure Team is responsible for renewing it and having it signed by RootCA.<
><
>Motion<
><
>I move to give the Critical Team Lead approval to change the Class-3-Root-Certificates at an appropriate time after the March Board Meeting.<
><
>Votes: '''3 Ayes''', no Naye, no Abstain<
> 1. Acceptance of '''minutes''' 1. Motion to accept minutes from '''23.12.2020'''<
><
>Votes: '''3 Ayes''', no Naye, no Abstain 1. Motion to accept minutes from '''04.02.2021'''<
><
>Votes: '''3 Ayes''', no Naye, no Abstain<
> 1. '''Staffing the team:''' the recruitment effort is currently focused on the software development team. Brian, Frédéric and Bernhard are working on it together. This is an effort that must be made in parallel with the renewal of the ABC, because having staff in the coding team without the possibility of reviewing and having the new code validated by a software engineer is a demotivating factor.<

>Frederic renews to Dirk his request for the creation of user accounts on OTRS, for the new users of the support team who need it.<
