It allows a DNS domain name holder to specify one or more Certification Authorities (CAs) authorized to issue certificates for that domain and, by implication, that no other CAs are authorized.<br><br>The intent of this motion is to make it mandatory for CAs to check CAA records at issuance time for all certificates issued (except in a few special cases), and to prevent issuance if a CAA record is found which does not permit issuance by that CA. This therefore allows domain owners to set an issuance policy which will be respected by all publicly-trusted CAs, and allows them to mitigate the problem that the public CA trust system is only as strong as its weakest CA.<br><br>Note that CAA is already a defined term in the BRs and so does not need definitional text to be provided by this motion. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=line874><b><span lang=EN-US>-- MOTION BEGINS --</span></b><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Add the following text as a new section 3.2.2.8 (titled "CAA Records") of the Baseline Requirements:<o:p></o:p></span></p><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span lang=EN-US>This section is effective as of 8 September 2017.<br><br>As part of the issuance process, the CA must check for a CAA record for each dNSName in the subjectAltName extension of the certificate to be issued, according to the procedure in RFC 6844, following the processing instructions set down in RFC 6844 for any records found.
