This was observed during the interview, and discussed. The relationship has no apparent force. We therefore conclude that although a CoI exists in theory, it does not represent a material threat to CAcert. * Investigation of potential weaknesses in social engineering revealed that (R) has familiarity with this topic. An "emergency exit" solution is highly appreciated. * (R) was questioned on background related to anticipated subject matter (Software-Assessment). Has ability to understand foreign code, preference for near-hardware coding, fixing bugs in foreign code. * His role will become probably not one of the key persons within the SA team, but as a fallback on code reviews, if no other SA is available, so SA work has lower priority related to his other work within CAcert. * My recommendation to the SA team is: should lead him to the SA related SP/SM topics and new implemented procedures. * Observer in interview has to wipe handwritten interview transcript if not yet done.
