All the members to have Class2 *for free* would be reasonable. Plus, "donated" committers (e.g. 100USD) to have Class2 would be reasonable as well.
Tetsuya, So can I clarify. Do you expect the ASF to pay for some 300 Class 2 certificates from Verisign? Then some further 1800 or more committer certificates? That is a staggeringly expensive project to even consider. Even if they were donated to the ASF, that would be another component of an already bustling infrastructure metropolis, we are just not geared up for that yet. That's not to say we couldn't be, but at the moment we are not.
