All, Recently we were advised that e-commerce monitoring GmbH is being acquired by AUSTRIA CARD-Plastikkarten und Ausweissysteme GmbH.
e-commerce monitoring operates the GLOBALTRUST 2020 root CA that is included in the Mozilla root store. They have advised us of the following: There are no changes to the operation of the CA and RA functions. Changes to the corporate structure: - New shareholder: AUSTRIA CARD-Plastikkarten und Ausweissysteme Gesellschaft m.b.H. registered under the number FN 98272v commercial court Vienna Lamezanstraße 4-8 1230 Vienna, Austria https://www.austriacard.com/ - New Management new: CEO ("Geschäftsführer") Mr. Emmanouil Kontos new: Attorney ("Prokurist") Mr. Markus Kirchmayr old: CEO Hans Zeger - Registered headquarter new: Handelskai 388/621, 1020 Vienna, Austria old: Redtenbachergasse 20, 1160 Vienna, Austria According to section 8.1 of the Mozilla Root Store Policy, “If the receiving or acquiring company is new to the Mozilla root store, it MUST demonstrate compliance with the entirety of this policy. There MUST be a public discussion regarding its admittance to the root store. If Mozilla reaches a positive conclusion after public discussion, then the affected certificate(s) MAY remain in the root store.” By this email, I am initiating a four-week public discussion period, scheduled to close on Friday, 1-March-2024, to allow for at least three full weeks of public discussion. The first week (Feb. 5 – 9) is intended to give the acquiring company time to address the following topics: · Compliance with the Mozilla Root Store Policy · Ownership and governance · Investment and budget for CA operations, risk management, and compliance · Community engagement and involvement in industry groups · Employee expertise and continuity · Operational design and ongoing GRC management · Auditors and auditing Thanks, Ben Wilson Mozilla Root Store Program -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "dev-security-policy@mozilla.org" group.
