Who counts as a Trusted Third Party?

I've checked on the site, but I haven't been able to find
a good list  
of who counts as a TTP, or what precautions CACert
undertakes to make  
sure that the TTPs are, in fact, the people the applicant
claims they  
are.

I'm a graduate student at the University of Iowa, and as
can be  
imagined, I know a fair number of faculty here--both in the
law  
school and other departments.  Would faculty be an
appropriate choice  
for a TTP?

We are actively trying to phase out the TTP system where
possible as
there are pros and cons and the cons at times out weigh the
pros.

No. The PDF forms explicitly outline suitable TTPs, public
notary,
lawyers, accountants and bank managers.
