Dear Members,<br>
<br>
While taking another pass at reviewing the new certificate profiles
introduced in ballot SC62, I realized that there is some deviation
from the RFC 3647 structure that the BRs should maintain to help
alignment of CA CP/CPS documents.<br>
<br>
This is the structure defined by RFC 3647 for section 7:<br>
<pre class="newpage"> 7. CERTIFICATE, CRL, AND OCSP PROFILES
7.1 Certificate profile
7.1.1 Version number(s)
7.1.2 Certificate extensions
7.1.3 Algorithm object identifiers
7.1.4 Name forms
7.1.5 Name constraints
7.1.6 Certificate policy object identifier
7.1.7 Usage of Policy Constraints extension
7.1.8 Policy qualifiers syntax and semantics
7.1.9 Processing semantics for the critical Certificate Policies</pre>
<br>
Section 7.1.5 does not exist anymore. The BRs have the name
constraints information in 7.1.2.5.2, 7.1.2.10.8. I believe that, at
a minimum, we should re-introduce 7.1.5 and point to other
subsections of 7.1.2 for consistency with RFC 3647.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
