[cabfpub] Breach Insurance

[Moudrick M. Dadashov]

Sorry for  confusion, Gerv, I was responding to Stephen's skepticism.

In regard to Qualified SSL Arno an Inigo know this better but I don't 
expect any significant shift even if someday today's EVCP becomes 
Qualified SSL. If they declare it is equal to EV SSL that means all EVG 
requirements apply without any exceptions. However this doesn't prevent 
them to have extra requirements for Qualified SSL.

Thanks,
M.D.
