method must not be used.

endorsed by Bruce Morton of Entrust Datacard and Ryan Sleevi of Google.

This method has been retired and MUST NOT be used. Prior validations using
this method and validation data gathered according to this method SHALL NOT
be used to issue certificates.

 

 

--- MOTION ENDS ---
