        teus wrote and Ted ack'd it:

        My suggestion is to stay for this moment to the current
        situation: an
        Assurer is an *individual* Community Member who has at least 100
        Assurance Points and has passed the Assurer Challenge.
         

    ....

This is there to avoid that we get for the moment discussions about the
semantics of: an Organisation is a CAcert Community Member so as such
the organisation can do assurances when the organisation has more as 100
assurance points.... (the (only) discrimination factor between
"individual" and "organisation Members).

I have some trouble to understand what Sam is trying to say here:

The O-Admin as Assurer can assure (verify ID and ack the CAcert Comm.
Agreement mark) of an individual (one out of the general public) and
provide assurance points...
or
Some person in the organisation does the face-2-face ID check (e.g. it
is his job within the organisation as eg human resource department?) and
the O-Admin does the CCA mark/form as Assurer. All together a Trusted
Third Part Verification Programme act ( :-) ) ?

For me it is not clear what you want to suggest.
