<div>Ryan wrapped up by saying that until now, you’ve heard only vague uneasiness from some CAs (my interpretation of what Ryan said; I can’t remember his exact words). Did you hear more specifics during this meeting, or would you like us to gather comments
and present them to you?</div><span class=""><font color="#888888">

That is, there are both technical issues and timing issues. We'd certainly like to address any technical issues we can, and we'd like to understand the timing issues to see what can or should be done. This was certainly why we actively solicited feedback several months ago by contacting every CA in their program to gather such information.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">We welcome all constructive feedback. Unquestionably, the canonically best way to ensure that feedback is recognized and considered is by ensuring to send it to us (where "us" is myself and Ben Laurie, as you have with this email). That said, we're also happy to discuss and better understand the concerns within public forums such as the IETF - <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/wg/trans/">http://tools.ietf.org/wg/trans/</a> - or in visible forums such as the CA/B Forum.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I have no doubt that the most spirited, robust, and meaningful discussions of the technical problems can be dealt with within the IETF Working Group. For the timing problems, that's ultimately something based on the Google Chrome policy, so we're happy to discuss those directly or publicly, at your discretion - since ultimately, no one can help you with your timing issues.</div>
