THIS IS An INFORMATIONAL DOCUMENT and NOT CACERT policy

CAcert at big events

This is the Assurer's guide to participation in a CAcert Assurance Event. See also EventOrganiser.

Things needed

Personnel

Minimum:

Better:

If you're planning CeBIT or LinuxTag you're better off with "or more" :) Maybe you can put emergency personnel in the neighbouring booth that can help at peak times.

At all events, someone is the Event Organiser. He or she is the person you will ask for further details on the event, what to bring with you, if there is a Dress code (Business Events) or if T-Shirts just fine, which technical material is needed and so on.

Infrastructure

You will need:

Optional things to consider:

The Procedure 'en detail'

Part 1 - At the booth

 START:
 the applicant queues at the assurer's aid desk
 if (applicant has filled CAS) goto READY_TO_CHECK_ID
 hand out CAS
 READY_TO_CHECK_ID:
 if (applicant has created account at www.cacert.org) goto CONTINUE
 tell him, that he should create account at home 'soon' after the event.
 hand out the tiny 'CAcert-reminder'.
 CONTINUE:
 the assurer's aid marks (if not yet done by the applicant) the form with an 'A' ('account created')
 the assurer's aid checks the applicants documents of identity (passport, id-card, driver's license) very thoroughly!
 the assurer's aid marks the form with his sign so the assurer knows the ID is pre-checked
 the assurer's aid tells the applicant to queue at the assurer's desk to be checked again ("Four eyes principle")
 (at the assurer's desk)
 the assurer checks very thoroughly the identity of the applicant and the CAP form.
 if (OK) the assurer marks the points issued, lists the types of ID and signs the CAP form
 if (account exists and queue is not too long) goto ONLINE_ASSURANCE'''
 put the CAP for on the staple "not yet assured"
 goto END
 ONLINE_ASSURANCE:
 the assurer enters the email address for online assurance (he's already logged in)
 if (account is verified) check name(s) and birthday, if OK proceed, if not *don't* issue any points!
     You should send the applicant a nice email and ask him to correct his details. goto END
 the assurer marks the CAP form the the assurance is completed
 the assurer puts it on the staple "completely assured"
 END:

 done.

Part 2 - Later or at home

Additional Information

There are some more details on the Points page in the 'Getting Points on Big Events' section.

Discussion

April 2009: Its more unlikely for security purposes to use Computers on Events to let Assurer Candidates create accounts on CAcert.org.
