I reviewed this issue and we might be able to address and add, if required, immediately to the merged document.

Verified Method of Communication is defined in section 11.5 of the EV SSL Guidelines.

The EV Code Signing Guidelines have a section called "11.5 Verification of Applicant's Operational Existence" which references EV SSL Guidelines section 11.5. So there was an error made and there is some confusion as to which requirement was supposed to be referenced, Operation Existence or Verified Method of Communication.

The merged CS BR document assumed that the reference was supposed to be to Operational Existence, so we changed the reference to section 11.6 of the EV SSL Guidelines. This means that 11.5 Verified Method of Communication is not referenced.

Options:

  1.  No Change, which assumes that Verified Method of Communication does not need to be referenced. As such, there would be no change to CA processes.
  2.  Add a new section called "Verified Method of Communication" which will reference EV SSL Guidelines section 11.5. This should have minimal impact to CA processes as they will already have addressed this issue if they issue EV SSL certificates.

This could be addressed in the merged document before the ballot, as this is really could have been resolved in the merger discussion.

Bruce.
