Rob,

This looks like a chicken-egg problem. A RootCA that wants to enable EV needs to get an EV audit. The proposed language, if I am not misunderstanding something, says that in order to get an EV audit, it must be... "EV-enabled"?

It's not clear from that sentence if "...that contains no EKU or the id-kp-serverAuth EKU or anyExtendedKeyUsage EKU" is meant to apply to "a subordinate CA" or "an EV-enabled root". For clarity, I suggest converting this sentence into a bulleted list; and to avoid repeating that bulleted list unnecessarily, I suggest putting it into a new section 3.1.2.3, which sections 3.1.2.1 and 3.1.2.2 would then reference.

I've had a go at drafting a PR here: https://github.com/robstradling/pkipolicy/pull/1

Hello Ben,

I am trying to understand the expectations from Mozilla:

- If a CA that has an EV-capable RootCA , uses a subCA Certificate that
contains the id-kp-serverAuth EKU and the anyPolicy OID that does not
issue EV end-entity Certificates, is this considered a policy violation
if this subCA is not explicitly included in an EV audit scope (ETSI or
WebTrust)?

- If a subCA Certificate that contains the id-kp-serverAuth EKU and the
anyPolicy OID was not covered by an EV-scope audit (because it did not
issue EV Certificates) and it later decides to update the profile and
policies/practices to comply with the EV Guidelines for everything
related to end-entity certificates in order to start issuing EV
Certificates and is later added to an EV-scope audit, is that an allowed
practice? Judging from the current EV Guidelines I didn't see anything
forbidding this practice. In fact this is supported via section 17.4.

The proposed language is a bit confusing so hopefully by getting
Mozilla's position on the above two questions, we can propose some
improvements.


Best regards,
Dimitris.
