I thought that my reply might be interesting to the group, too.

It's quite simple, really.

Once you have logged on to the CACert.org site, go through the "CAcert
Web of Trust" menu item to "Find an Assurer" ( or drop me a line ).
When you and your Assurer have arranged a time to meet, print the "US -
WoT Form", also in the "CAcert Web of Trust" menu, and take it to the
meeting.  ( All Web of Trust transactions require a face-to-face
meeting, just like PGP or Thawte. )  Your Assurer will examine your
identity documents, sign the WoT Form, and then complete the process on
his computer.  You will receive an e-mail message shortly afterward,
reporting the number of points that you have accumulated.

To become an Assurer, there are a couple of different methods, but
require that you accumulate a certain number of points.

Hope that helps.
