harm to subscribers and relying parties from mis-issued certificates of all types. At present, CAs are permitted to limit their potential liability to subscribers and relying parties to $2,000 per EV certificate under EV Guidelines Section 18 and $0 per DV
and OV certificate under Baseline Requirements Section 18.1.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

their potential liability to subscribers and relying parties to $10,000 per EV certificate, $5,000 per OV certificate, and $2,000 per OV certificate. This ballot does not otherwise change whatever legal liability a CA would or would not have for its certificates
under applicable law.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
