Rick,

When you say "private root", you mean a root that is exempted from the
Baseline Requirements (presumably, because it is not a publicly trusted
root), correct?

If that's a correct understanding, would it be fair to interpret your
response as meaning that you withdraw your concerns, because they would not
affect you? Or are there still concerns you feel with this proposal that,
even under the scenario you described, would require modification to the
proposed language?
