The EV process is intended to gather a robust body of information about the Subject that, when viewed collectively, "provides users with a trustworthy confirmation of the identity of the entity". James and later Ryan have pointed out a weakness in the standard where incorrect data from a single data source (QGIS) could be used to obtain a "properly validated" EV certificate containing that incorrect data.
A positive outcome from this discussion would be for the Validation WG to review this information and propose changes to the EVGLs (such as a requirement for face-to-face validation mentioned by Jeremy) that mitigate this weakness. Wayne
