All of the provisions would provide optional caps that CAs could place on EV liability. The 12-month $5 Million cap allows a CA to cap all EV liability to all those EV certificates issued within a single year.

Do I understand the intention correctly: to have a "floating liability" amount per EV certificate and "fixed liability" amount per continuous 12-month period?

Ballot 209 - EV Liability In Section 18 of the EV Guidelines, add the following sentences to the end of the first paragraph: Notwithstanding the foregoing, a CA MAY limit its liability to Subscribers or Relying Parties for legally recognized and provable claims to: (1) one hundred thousand US dollars – aggregated across all claims, Subscribers, and Relying Parties – per EV Certificate; and (2) five million US dollars – aggregated across all claims, Subscribers, and Relying Parties – for all EV Certificates issued by the CA during any continuous 12-month period. These limitations are notwithstanding anything in the Baseline Requirements purportedly to the contrary. Such that Section 18 of the EV Guidelines would read: CAs MAY limit their liability as described in Section 9.8 of the Baseline Requirements except that a CA MAY NOT limit its liability to Subscribers or Relying Parties for legally recognized and provable claims to a monetary amount less than two thousand US dollars per Subscriber or Relying Party per EV Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a CA MAY limit its liability to Subscribers or Relying Parties for legally recognized and provable claims to: (1) one hundred thousand US dollars – aggregated across all claims, Subscribers, and Relying Parties – per EV Certificate; and (2) five million US dollars – aggregated across all claims, Subscribers, and Relying Parties – for all EV Certificates issued by the CA during any continuous 12-month period. These limitations are notwithstanding anything in the Baseline Requirements purportedly to the contrary. A CA's indemnification obligations and a Root CA’s obligations with respect to subordinate CAs are set forth in Section 9.9 of the Baseline Requirements.
