[cabfpub] Restrict certificate lifetime to domain registration period (if certificate expiry date is greater than domain registration)

[Tim Hollebeek]

It's in our Bylaws:

"As you know, this meeting includes companies that compete against one another. This meeting is intended to discuss technical standards related to the provision of existing and new types of digital certificates without restricting competition in developing and marketing such certificates. This meeting is not intended to share competitively-sensitive information among competitors, and therefore all participants agree not to discuss or exchange information related to: 

(a) Pricing policies, pricing formulas, prices or other terms of sale; 

(b) Costs, cost structures, profit margins, 

(c) Pending or planned service offerings, 

(d) Customers, business, or marketing plans; or 

(e) The allocation of customers, territories, or products in any way.”
