p20080128.1 Assurers are individuals not organisations

Iang: Resolved,

  1. Assurers are individuals, not organisations.
  2. Organisation Assurers are individuals, too.
  3. Organisation Assurance does not rely on web-of-trust, but instead relies on quality processes.

In the above, _individuals_ is synonymous with _natural persons_ and _organisations_ is synonymous with _legal persons_ being organisations that are legally separated from people.
