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.

How to obtain a CAcert Assurer pin
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.
How to become a CAcert Association member
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.
