can say that the only explicit requirement included in the
initial BRs about maximum validity period for certs is BR 9.4
– and by its terms, it clearly does not apply to certs issued
or agreements made before the effective date of the BRs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br>
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't apply to the specific
certificate we discussed here (as brought forward by Ryan). It was
apparently issued this year, so whatever your stance is for
certificates issued before 2012 June, it's not relevant here.<br>
<br>
Of course it's easy to change the notbeforeDate in a certificate to
anywhere sometime before the BR was enforced. Those CAs that comply
to the BRs requirements will certainly appreciate it.<br>
<br>
And since you are surprised about the logical expectation as we've
discussed it extensively, why do you think the BR has a staged
approach for long-living certificates - first to 60 month and then
to 39 month? What could be the reason for it?<br>
