<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>

Erwann, I just sent a much longer post on this, but
IMO that is exactly how the Forum should approach
this. The Forum, IMO, (A) MUST allow a CA to
operate in conformance to the laws and regulations
of the jurisdiction in which it operates, so when it
comes to this kind of situation, the Forum's role
should be (1) advisory and (2)to act as a repository
so that consistency can be maintained across the
industry as much as possible given (A).</span></i></b><span
