I'd post this in the policy working group, if that was operational ... :( In <f790af94-3997-43b6-a5aa-a4d79119c...@s1g2000prg.googlegroups.com> our esteemed Kathleen Wilson <kathleen95...@yahoo.com> wrote:

In the complete absence of any discussion, positive or negative, does it seem right to allow CAs to go into the list by default? Should we have a quorum requirement, of some sort, requiring pasticipation by at least N members before allowing approval? It bothers me that a CA might get into the list simply because no one (besides Kathleen) had (or took) the time to seriously evaluation the application. This seems especially problematic given that it appears to be nigh unto impossible to remove a CA from the list. -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
