Aren't the two sentences in 2.g.ii. contradictory?  The first sentence says
that MFA is required for Secure Zone / High Security Zone, and the second
sentence says that passwords must be at least 8 characters, etc.

See
https://cabforum.org/2018/08/16/ballot-sc3-two-factor-authentication-and-password-improvements/


    ii. For authentications which cross a zone boundary into a Secure Zone
or High Security Zone, require Multi-Factor Authentication. For accounts
accessible from outside a Secure Zone or High Security Zone require
passwords that have at least eight (8) characters and are not be one of the
user's previous four (4) passwords; and implement account lockout for
failed access attempts in accordance with subsection k;

Could it be reworded as follows?

ii.   For authentications from outside the CA's network, require
Multi-Factor Authentication and implement account lockout for failed access
attempts in accordance with subsection k;
