I have submitted a draft motion which addresses the situation in the same way that the organization to which the UN passed responsibility for the region has addressed it, and it will allow a CA to issue a certificate in accordance with the laws of the respective jurisdictions to which the CA and it's customer are subject. The motion clarifies this situation in the BRs and takes into account both those jurisdictions which DO and DO NOT recognize the sovereignty of the Republic of Kosovo. I am absolutely open to constructive edits of that motion for clarity. I'm also open to better suggestions if anyone has one, but I do want to get this resolved quickly as I have a customer, verified to EV standards, waiting in the wings for a decision.</span></i></b><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></body></html>
