[Servercert-wg] Draft Ballot SC-067: Applicant, Subscriber and Subscriber Agreements - Feedback requested

Just inside lines 276-279, I suggest we replace "Applicant" with
"Applicant/Subscriber" so it would read:

**Applicant/Subscriber Representative**: A natural person or human sponsor
who is either the Applicant/Subscriber, employed by the
Applicant/Subscriber, or an authorized agent who has express authority to
represent the Applicant/Subscriber:

  i. who signs and submits, or approves a certificate request on behalf of
the Applicant/Subscriber, and/or

  ii. who accepts a Subscriber Agreement on behalf of the
Applicant/Subscriber.

Thanks,

Ben
