Dear Mozilla community,

Reviewing the BR audit report of Comsign Ltd I have a few doubts regarding the 
audits accepted by Mozilla and may someone can help me.

The BR audit was conducted according to the WebTrust forCertification 
Authorites - SSL Baseline Requirements Audit Criteria version 1.1 and it's a 
point-of-time (as of April 26, 2015).
Although this audit criteria is accepted according to the Mozilla CA 
Certificate Inclusion Policy 2.2, the BR audit version 1.1 was superseded by 
Webtrust SSL Baseline with Network Security version 2.0 (effective for audit 
periods starting on or after July 1, 2014).

Webtrust audit criteria states that "The point-in-time readiness assessment 
shall be completed no earlier than twelve (12) months prior to issuing 
Publicly-Trusted Certificates and shall be followed by a complete audit under 
such scheme within ninety (90) days of issuing the first Publicly-Trusted 
Certificate. (See SSL Baseline Requirements Section 17.4)". Should Mozilla 
expect a complete audit 90 days after the point-in-time BR audit report or 
after the first certificate (I don't know when was issued)?

In addition and regarding the OCSP Responder certificate with Serial Number: 
0e:2b:cd:a4:aa:4f:8f:80:da:16:94:4e:ba:33:35:33, the validity is 3 years. 
According the RFC 6960 "A CA may specify that an OCSP client can trust a 
responder for the lifetime of the responder's certificate.  The CA does so by 
including the extension id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck.  This SHOULD be a non-critical 
extension. The value of the extension SHALL be NULL. CAs issuing such a 
certificate should realize that a compromise of the responder's key is as 
serious as the compromise of a CA key used to sign CRLs, at least for the 
validity period of this certificate.  CAs may choose to issue this type of 
certificate with a very short lifetime and renew it frequently." Which is the 
maximum acceptable lifetime for this type of certificates that contains the 
id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck extension?

PS: Now I cannot test the OCSP due a server error "Code=503,Reason=Service 
Unavailable"

Best
