The CA membership criteria say a member CA is one which: "actively issues certificates to Web servers that are openly accessible from the Internet using a browser created by a Browser member".
What does "openly accessible" mean? Does it mean that the CA is included in at least one browser member's root store? After all, a website with a cert from an untrusted CA is still accessible in each of the browser member's browsers, after clicking through a warning. If it does mean that, I need to update my membership ballot to take account of the fact that being in at least one root store is a membership criterion. I believe that in the past we've treated this as being a criterion for full membership, but it's not explicitly in there, so I wanted to check.
