Comodo strongly supports the concept of EV Code Signing, and would very
much like to see wider implementation and participation. However, as
far as we are aware, EV Code Signing has been implemented by only a
single vendor with only two CA participants in that vendor's program.
Therefore, as Section 1.2 of the Bylaws of the CA/B Forum states that
the purpose of the Forum is to meet and discuss matters of common
interest, we do not believe the EV Code Signing Guidelines to be a
matter of common interest for the Forum at this time. Specifically,
absent wider implementation and participation in the use of this
standard, additional work now by the CA/B Forum on this topic will be in
contravention of Section 1.2 of the Bylaws.
Moreover, Section 1.3 of the Bylaws of the CA/B Forum states that Forum
Members shall not use their participation in the Forum either to promote
their own products and offerings or to restrict or impede the products
and offerings of other Members. </pre>

Maybe this is the wrong stage, however there is something into this
and me thinks too that something is wrong with the requirements
(otherwise StartCom and probably others would support it). However I
suggest to take this as a starting point for possible correction of
the guidelines that would allow wider support and/or fixing whatever
needs to get fixed.<br>

The ballot itself is obviously non-controversial as is and probably
the wrong venue for above discussion.<br>
