Ryan, we would be very pleased if you proposed additional enterprise certificate users to speak as well, who can share their point of view.  But I believe all input is welcome, and I would think you would welcome it – you have asked CAs to bring forward customers many times in the past.

On your first question - some major enterprise users would like to present their ideas and concerns about SSL certificate rules, changes, etc. from their perspective, which I know the browsers have wanted (rather than hearing it reported by the CAs who provide the certs to enterprise customers).

To be clear: Several browsers have wanted open participation. I would suggest that having CA-selected participants, without explanation (as Gerv had to seek) is perhaps detrimental to the productive dialog, in as much as it allows the Chair - and CA members - to favour particular viewpoints to the detriment of the overall ecosystem.

Might I suggest that it might not be appropriate?
