The remediation plan seems to raise, not eliminate issues:

- Action point 1 raises the possibility that anomalous actions are possible. 
Why aren't the issuance processes automated and logged already?

- Action point 2 will not work. Humans are bad at monitoring for rare 
conditions. Some of the issues were not misspellings or confusion over the name 
of a company, but syntactic defects that machines could detect. It should at 
minimum be paired with automated validation.

- Action point 5 should already be achieved as a result of commitments made in 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1390977#c30

- Action point 9 should be trivial. But it isn't. Why not?

Beyond that all of these are actions that should have been undertaken in 
remediation of the past issues when they happened. I see very little that would 
remediate the risks of missussance, such as e.g exiting the sub-CA business, 
and migrating to a proven CA infrastructure rather than the homegrown one that 
seems to give operators plenty of scope to make mistakes. There's no issuance 
freeze to permit these necessary controls to be in place before resuming.

Sincerely,
Watson Ladd
