On 10/31/2013 09:35 PM, From Kathleen Wilson:
<blockquote cite="mid:5272B119.6040307@mozilla.com" type="cite">
<pre wrap="">These are the issues in play:
* BR 9.1.3 says that the Issuer Organization Name (O) field must not
contain a generic designation. The BIT legacy roots have the DN
"o=admin,c=CH". However, Swiss law apparently reserves this particular
string as a 'brand' to BIT. And, of course, this root was created long
before the BRs were thought of.

Kathleen, if you recall at the time of the (initial) root inclusion
request regarding this root at Mozilla we had exactly the very same
issue and with an eye on exactly those types of names the BR does
NOT allow such names. This was also discussed at that time and I
would object (on our part should this come up for vote) to an
exception for these kinds of names. Exactly for this the BR was
created to get rid of such practices.<br>
