As a community prerogative, we have decided to move CAcert Inc from Australia to a location (as yet undecided) in Europe. This page lists the assets that CAcert Inc holds and options for moving. In the sense of living wills, this list can be seen as direction in the event of folding up the organisation.
Starter only. Please add assets and suggestions. Questions can be placed in the last section.

CCA does not require policy group approval. It requires multiple changes done by Policy Group. Policy Group IS the authority that has to act. by Eva
infrastructure servers already are with Secure-U as far as I know. by Eva
as far as I know, Secure-U does NOT want to be a permanent "home" for the CCA. Actually it probably would violate their own internal rules. CAcert is only one of multiple projects they support. So I doubt that it is an alternative. by Eva
the same is probably true for the CA-business. by Eva
there also is a deliberate split between the owner of the servers, physical access to the servers and the CA. More or less all ideas in the phoenix project pointed to splitting up everything even more. There should be quite good reasons why such separation would be reduced. by Eva
