Actually there might be a problem with this one and the original isn't 
any better. IIRC the 39 month were used in order to allow re-issuance of 
an existing certificate, but do we really want to rely on data that has 
been obtained more than three years ago for a certificate that will be 
valid for another years, total more than six years?

Can this be clarified?
