How to handle "add my full middle name to my account" cases that are similar to precedent case a20120126.1 "Please add my full middle name to my account" (WIP)
Preconditions
The user has an account and the user has been assured at least once. If there is no assurance the user is able to change the name himself.
The middle name needs to be confirmed by at least 2 assurers, may it be previous or new assurances. The sum of all the assurance points given by all previous assurers, that can confirm the middle name, and the new asked assurers will give him, need to amount to at least 50 points, so the user can issue named certificates with the new name.
- case 1: assurer A and assurer B can give each 35 points => 35 + 35 > 50
- case 2: assurer A can give 20 points, assurers B, C and D each can give 10 points => 20 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 50
Procedure steps
Initial mail to user
Dear <user>,
We've received your request to add a middle name to your account dated
####-##-##.
I'll take this case as Support Engineer.
The process to add a middle name to an account is laid out in the
precedent arbitration case a20120126.1 [1] and is documented in the
support handbook [2].
Do you know if any of the assurers who already confirmed your identity
is able to verify your middle name? If so, please name them with name
and email address.
For this name change you have to have at least 50 assurance points from
assurers who can confirm your middle name, previous and new assurances
summed up. So if you do new assurances, take care they can give you enough
assurance points or you have enough assurers. During the assurance please
point out to the assurer that you need the middle name confirmed.
Once you received the new assurances in your account, send the names and
primary email addresses of the assurers to support.
Like every normal arbitration case this also is opened by some formalities:
1. Please reply to this email and confirm that you accept the
Arbitration under the CAcert Community Agreement [3] and the
Dispute Resolution Policy [4].
2. The governing law will be that of NSW, Australia. It is possible
to request a change of law, but it is unlikely to be helpful in
this case.
3. You need to notify me if you are seeking legal counsel (a lawyer).
This is not recommended. Rather, if you feel the need for help,
I can ask an experienced Assurer to assist you.
Finally, please remember: this forum is about sorting out our common
difficulties and improving our ability to secure ourselves. Unlike other
forums, I ask you to maintain a positive and helpful spirit at all times!
The proceedings of the Arbitration have to be in English. If you have troubles
expressing yourself in English, we can try to find a translator for you.
