Hi there. I’m Greg Rose, currently President of CAcert Inc. I wanted to tell the membership that the new board of directors is in place and doing things. We had our first board meeting a few weeks ago. We have since assumed control of the domain names, and are in the process of getting bank accounts moved over too. Most of our activity in the near future will be oriented toward getting the association on a sound management footing, so that we can make further progress on the audit, being included in more browsers, and promotion of our services.

We are planning an AGM around November. Look out for more information about that.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions or send suggestions to me/us.

Greg.

IAIK has started a SHA1 collision search project based on the distributed computing platform BOINC and needs your help: http://boinc.iaik.tugraz.at/

As the new secretary for CAcert, Inc. I am happy to publish the offices to be held by the board members, as follows:

Greg Rose, President

Robert Cruikshank, Treasurer, Public Officer

Evaldo Gardenali, Secretary

All other board member positions are to be declared vacant for the term of this board, until the next Annual General Meeting, scheduled for later this year.
I would also like to say thanks once more to the previous board members, and all the people who helped us with the SGM, especially our Advisory team.

You can obtain a CAcert Assurer label at the bigger events where CAcert Assurances events are being organized.
With this (informal) CAcert Assurer label (a pin) you can make you known as CAcert Assurer so someone can easily find you on CAcert Assurance events.

Most of us enjoy the CAcert free certficate service. But some of us also want to help out to make this service a long term and reliable free service. The base for this is done and carried out by persons joined by the CAcert Inc. association. If you want to join the association have a look at CAcert Association Membership For only 10 US$ per year and remember you need two current association members to nominate in order to join.
