Is this intended as a temporary fix until the issue is meaningfully
addressed? Or are you seeing this as a long-term resolution of the issue?

I thought the goal was to make the policy clearer on the expectations, and
my worry is that it would be creating more work for you and Kathleen, and
the broader community, because it puts the onus on you to chase down CAs to
provide the demonstration because they didn't pay attention to it in the
policy. This was the complaint previously raised about "CA Problematic
Practices" and things that are forbidden, so I'm not sure I understand the
distinction/benefit here from moving it out?

I think the relevance to MRSP is trying to clarify whether Mozilla thinks
of auditors as individuals (as it originally did), or whether it thinks of
auditors as organizations. I think that if MRSP was clarified regarding
that, then the path you're proposing may work (at the risk of creating more
work for y'all to request that CAs provide the information that they're
required to provide, but didn't know that).

If the issue you're trying to solve is one about whether it's in the audit
letter vs communicated to Mozilla, then I think it should be possible to
achieve that within the MRSP and explicitly say that (i.e. not require it
in the audit letter, but still requiring it).

Just trying to make sure I'm not overlooking or misunderstanding your
concerns there :)
