What Duane is saying is that CAcert tries desparately to avoid TTP
assurances.  Each of those requires several humans to look at the
forms and make a decision about you.  Since these are the same people
who do a lot of other CAcert work, if at all possible you should visit
with CAcert assurers in your area.

After that, try and get a grouping of assurers in one location, or
meet regularly with such a group to do assurances "en masse" to
quickly get new CAcert users up to 50 or 100 points.  Peter
Saint-Andre currently heads such a group in Denver, Colorado, which is
where I got started.
