<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Dimitris:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for the feedback. Both these points were addressed in our earlier discussions regarding the draft.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the issue of OCSP support, you may recall that there were varying proposals for varying the requirements for both CRL and OCSP but the fact remains that different root distribution programs have pre-existing requirements for both of
them. Thus, the decision was made to retain the existing text. I have suggested that revocation services would be a useful focus subject for a future CABF F2F as this topic seems to come up in different WG, and any changes must have the support of all the
root programs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Similarly, on the issue of C in the Subject DN, this was previously discussed several times and the decision was made to stick the current text where the CA MAY use the attribute but is not required to.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best regards, Stephen<o:p></o:p></p>

on S/MIME or clientAuth or codeSigning Certificates. The CSCWG already removed the requirement for OCSP in Subscriber Certificates in the CSBRs].<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1">
