[cabfpub] Suggestion to amend BR Section7.1.4.2.2d/e RE: EV Gudelines section 9.2.5 & X.520

[Erwann Abalea]

Bonjour Peter,

According to the definition of a Country in the same document, it’s not: « Country: either a member of the United Nations OR a geographic region recognized as a sovereign nation by at least two UN member nations. »

Cordialement,
Erwann Abalea

The BRs say that the countryName attribute must contain the "the two-letter ISO 3166-1 country code associated with the location of the Subject”.  So an organization in Hong Kong could use either HK or CN, as both reflect the location of the subject.
