<p class="MsoNormal">As you’re considering changes, one concern that I still have is there remains no deprecation date for the Legacy profile — just the callout that it will be deprecated in the future. While I don’t believe this to be a blocker to voting in
favor of the ballot, I do think it would be better to adopt a date sooner than later so there’s ample time for CAs to adjust, rather than having a shorter time frame if a date is set in the future instead.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My proposal would be roughly (give or take a few months) October 1, 2024 as the date after which no new Legacy certs should be issued, which would mean the deprecation would complete some time in 2028. While I’d prefer an earlier deprecation
date, as mentioned numerous times, I think this time frame remains tractable.<o:p></o:p></p>

for CAB accreditation. I assume most CAB’s are on their way to migrate accreditation to the newer 403-1, some have already finished. Hence, section 8.2 number 4 should be amended as follows:<br>
