[cabfpub] FW: [Trans] Contributing to the issue tracker

[Rick Andrews]

Ryan,

Below, Ben said: "However, we are working towards supporting the private domain label extension as a retrofit to 6962, since we've heard from CAs that it is important to them." That's why I mentioned on the CABF call today that Google was supporting, and CAs could build, support for the domain name redaction.

We made at least one change towards that in -04 (the hash algorithm is now chosen from a registry).

But we're marching towards a flag day now. He also suggested trying to simplify precertificates or come up with alternatives, and that's captured in Ticket #26, but that's unlikely to be done in time to help any CAs before January.

I don't think it is correct to characterise what we're doing as a flag day. You can absolutely deploy CT before we switch it on in Chrome.
What we're marching towards is a deadline, a completely different thing.

On precertificates, one thing I should clarify is that Google will not be adopting 6962-bis before January, even if it is done by then, for the obvious reason that there's not going to be enough time.

However, we are working towards supporting the private domain label extension as a retrofit to 6962, since we've heard from CAs that it is important to them.
