In this case, the customer would get the DV or OV for 27 months, be able to replace at will, renew the cert for an additional 27 months, but be subject to revalidatiion half way through the 2nd when trying to get a replacement/re-issuance. This is bad enough with EV already, and I'm very much against extending it to OV/DV.

We don't generally get push back on that. What they don't expect, and what it is very difficult to make them understand is having to jump through the hoops again during the validity period of the same order.

I’m still keen on seeing a standardized maximum validity period for all certificate types, regardless of whether the certificate is DV, OV, or EV. I believe the last time this was discussed, we reached an impasse where the browsers favored a shorter validity period for OV/DV and the CAs were generally supportive of a longer-lived EV certificate (39 months). The argument for a shorter validity period were 1) encourages key replacement, 2) ensures validation occurs more frequently, 3) deters damage caused by key loss or a change in domain control, and 4) permits more rapid changes in industry standards and accelerates the phase-out of insecure practices. The argument for longer validity periods: 1) customers prefer longer certificate validity periods, and 2) the difficulty in frequent re-validation of information. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So far, there seems to be two change proposals with a couple of variations:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>1)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Set all certificate validity periods to no more than 27 months<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>a.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Require re-validation of information for OV/DV certificates at 39 months OR<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>b.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Require re-validation of information for all certs at 13 months<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>2)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Set all certificate validity periods to 39 months<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>a.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Require re-validation every 13 months<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>b.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span><![endif]>Require re-validation of information for OV/DV certificates at 39 months<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>What are the objections to 1a?
