Thank you for the comments Gerv. We had a Policy Review WG today and
decided that it would be more clear and consistent if we used the terms
"Root CA Operator" and "Subordinate CA Operator" throughout the
document. That would make perfectly clear that we are referring to the
"CA" as an organization. We will update the draft ballot to include this
change.
For section 6.2.6, we decided to keep the "Issuing" part. This will also
be updated in the draft ballot.
Ben will circulate the updated draft ballot for further review by
members, and the official ballot will be submitted to the public list as
*ballot 188*, on Thursday February 16th after the regular CA/B Forum
teleconference. We welcome any comments from members.
Best regards,
Dimitris.

The Policy Review Working Group has completed its review of the
Baseline Requirements for purposes of clarifying use of the term "CA"
and related terminology. Please review and comment on the following
pre-ballot. A redlined version of the Baseline Requirements is
attached to facilitate your review and comment.
Thanks to the group for ploughing through this.
* There is now a "Root CA Operator", and a "Subordinate CA", both of
which are organizations. This is particularly clear in the definition of
"Certification Authority", where it says:
The term applies equally to Root CA Operators and Subordinate CAs.
Is there a reason why these two terms were not made linguistically
parallel - i.e. either "Root CA" and "Subordinate CA", or "Root CA
Operator" and "Subordinate CA Operator"?
* 6.2.6: Some but not all instances of the word "Issuing" have been
removed. Is that intentional?
I did want to highlight one of the proposed changes that is not
related to "CA" terminology. That proposed change is in Section
4.9.10.
This change seems fine to me.
Gerv
