Discovery
- Control of primary mail address verified
- No other open Arbitration cases for C can be found.
Latest expiry date of issued certificates: 2011-12-13, therefor by standard calculation rule from Arbitration Training the CCA termination date should not be before 2012-03-13.
Deliberation
Since a certificate has been issued by the Claimant's account the account can not be anonymized immediately, in case a dispute is filed against the certificate owner.
To reduce the probability of a dispute against the Claimant his account is "hijacked" and the certificate is revoked.
Nevertheless, since certificate revocation is not very reliable and does not cover all use cases of certificates, CAcert still needs the possibility to contact the Claimant till the certificate is expired, plus a grace period of 3 months.
Ruling
The Claimant's account shall be hijacked and the certificate shall be revokes immediately.
Unless other facts show up (that is, a dispute is filed against him) the CAcert Community Agreement with the Claimant will be terminated at 2012-03-13 and his account shall be anonymized then.
Execution
- 2011-09-27 (A): Sent notice to the Claimant.
- 2011-09-27 (A): Asking support to revoke all certificates in C's account.
- 2012-03-14 Support reports that the account has been anonymized according to the ruling.
- 2012-03-18 (A): This case is closed now
