This is a very helpful list.

I'm not sure that's feasible (if I understand the point correctly), given the large number of countries and jurisdictions in which EV has to operate. Currently, the standard defines a "QIIS" (Qualified Independent Information Source) as having to have particular qualities to be suitable for use in EV validation. I think this is probably the only workable approach - although we might want to suggest modifications to the criteria.
