Thank you for the comments Gerv. We had a Policy Review WG today and
decided that it would be more clear and consistent if we used the
terms "Root CA Operator" and "Subordinate CA Operator" throughout
the document. That would make perfectly clear that we are referring
to the "CA" as an organization. We will update the draft ballot to
include this change.<br>
<br>
For section 6.2.6, we decided to keep the "Issuing" part. This will
also be updated in the draft ballot.<br>
<br>
Ben will circulate the updated draft ballot for further review by
members, and the official ballot will be submitted to the public
list as <b>ballot 188</b>, on Thursday February 16th after the
regular CA/B Forum teleconference. We welcome any comments from
members.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Dimitris.<br>

Thanks to the group for ploughing through this.
* There is now a "Root CA Operator", and a "Subordinate CA", both of
which are organizations. This is particularly clear in the definition of
"Certification Authority", where it says:

Is there a reason why these two terms were not made linguistically
parallel - i.e. either "Root CA" and "Subordinate CA", or "Root CA
Operator" and "Subordinate CA Operator"?
* 6.2.6: Some but not all instances of the word "Issuing" have been
removed. Is that intentional?

This change seems fine to me.
