We're past the end of the second comment period, and based on all the 
comments up to now I'm now ready to make a final decision.

Of the additional issues that came up in the second comment period, a 
couple (wildcard DV certs and long-lived certs) I've already dealt with 
in a prior request, one (multiple certs with the same FQDN) I don't see 
as a reason for rejection of the request (per my previous message), and 
one (certs with hostnames and private IP addresses) I consider now moot 
based on the previous public statement/commitment by Comodo. Also, I've 
given my opinion that issuance of certs for static public IP addresses, 
though not strictly speaking addressed in our policy, is in fact 
consistent with the intent of our policy assuming ownership/control of 
the addresses is verified.

Based on the resolution of these issues I'm therefore officially 
approving the Comodo request to add the Comodo ECC Certification 
Authority root certificate to NSS and to enable it in PSM for EV use.

I have filed bug 450427 against NSS and bug 450429 against PSM for the 
actual changes:
