Dean,

The language is a little wonky.  The Applicant is a CA according to our definition, it is not something they have.  Also we have two categories of CAs, Root CAs and Issuing CAs, so how about:

(7) The URL of at least one third party website that includes a certificate issued by the Applicant in the certificate chain.

This should cover both types of CAs.

Thanks,
Peter

We do however ask the applicant this question, after they have submitted their application. It would be helpful to have this in the bylaws so we don’t have to go back and ask every time.
