Good day, 

I want to share what is happening right now with the insistance of a certificat 
for my domain. 

I have setup my CAA record and request a certificat form a new CA, but forgot 
to correct my CAA record. 
The certificat insurance fail, all good. 

I detect the issue but in the mean time I ask support to confirm the issue. 

This is the message I got :

“Upon checking with Comodo's technical team, they advised to remove the CAA 
records for the domain *** so that your certificate can be issued. Once 
removed, please write back to us so that I can again contact Comodo to inform 
that the CAA records are removed on your end.”

I understand that the BR allows a CA to produce the certificate is there is no 
CAA record but I’m surprise that the correction for a CAA record missing the CA 
is to remove it and not correct it. 

I’m unsure where to share this story as I see this type of support answers as 
removing the value of the CAA. If CA support solution is to ask for removal is 
it not a way to circonvient the intent of providing a way for domain owner to 
control the list of CA insurer ?

If this is the way CA intent to mange CAA record over time what is the long 
time value of having a record at all? I sceptical that, except people that go 
above and beyond, they will just remove the record or never create one to 
start. 

Maybe that is the intent of ballot 219 that change BR analysis of empty CAA 
record, I do not know where to look for the discussion on the ballot. I try to 
find a discussion in this forum about that type of situation and find nothing 
so I share mine.
