    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Sorry for the delay, we experienced a
      6h network outage for our non critical systems (organizational
      business unit), and the mail had been put on hold just after the
      start of the outage... I'm reading that all now.<br>
      <br>
      Will the CABForum distinguish between EV and non-EV certificates?<br>
      <br>
      EV certificates have a GUI impact, and a missing country might
      render the given certificate no more considered EV.<br>
      <br>
      EV guidelines define "country" as a "sovereign state" defined by
      "Sovereign State:  A state or country that administers its own
      government, and is not dependent upon, or subject to, 
another
      power" which brings politics.<br>
      <br>
      EV guidelines define "jurisdictionOfIncorporationCountryName" as
      mandatory for an EV certificate, and in the case you submitted,
      since the requestor acts at the country level, the rule below
      prevents the "don't use country, use locality" trick":<br>
      <blockquote>"These fields MUST NOT contain information that is not
        relevant to the level of the Incorporating 
Agency or
        Registration Agency. For example, the Jurisdiction of
        Incorporation for an Incorporating Agency 
or Jurisdiction of
        Registration for a Registration Agency that operates at the
        country level MUST include the 
country information but MUST NOT
        include the state or province or locality information."<br>
