DigiNotar has applied to add a new root CA certificate to the Mozilla 
root store and enable it for EV, as documented in the following bug:

   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369357

and in the pending certificates list:

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/certs/pending/#DigiNotar

I have evaluated this request, as per the mozilla.org CA certificate policy:

   http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/certs/policy/

and plan to officially approve the request after a public comment period.

Note that there was an issue with DigiNotar's EV audit because at the 
time its production CA software did not have the necessary features to 
issue EV certificates; the software has since been upgraded and 
DigiNotar has since successfully issued EV certificates. My inclination 
is to accept the EV audit as suitable for our purposes, since our main 
interest is in the audit of DigiNotar's validation procedures, and we 
can verify technical correctness of the actual EV certificates ourselves.

Frank

P.S. to Nelson: I've changed the status whiteboard in the bug and 
checked in a change to the pending list (not yet on the site) to mark 
DigiNotar as 'pending'.
