Yes, that's like it is supposed to be. Unfortunately not all act in that 
way. And for such situations I asked about. I heard of one situation 
(can't remember the exact topi) where an assurer was told to do 
something by the event organisator and he said he will continue doeing 
whatever he likes to because there is no one at CAcert who has the right 
to say something to him. Lukilly there were some other assurers who 
"helped" the event organisator so the assurer mentioned left. But we do 
not always have "many" other assurers. This was a minor issue but it 
showed that we need such a discussion ... and it's just a discussion yet!

Hmm, it's not my document but I've read it. For me it seems to be just a 
guideline for big events and not a formal policy ruling how to do such 
an event. What exactly do you mean? And which "level of formality" to 
think you cannot attain at FOSDEM?

I know wonderer meant it as a guideline, so maybe just some sentences 
lead to a missunderstanding.

Greetings
