Clarify MRSP 8.1 re: CA Acquisitions #291
Description
It has been recommended that MRSP 8.1 be clarified. Specifically, "There MUST be a public discussion regarding its admittance to the root store" needs clarification. MRSP 8.1 says, "This section applies when one company buys or takes a controlling stake in a CA or CA operator, " and more fully: "If the receiving or acquiring company is new to the Mozilla root store, it MUST demonstrate compliance with the entirety of this policy. There MUST be a public discussion regarding its admittance to the root store. If Mozilla reaches a positive conclusion after public discussion, then the affected certificate(s) MAY remain in the root store. If the entire CA operation is not included in the scope of the transaction, issuance is not permitted until the discussion has been resolved with a positive conclusion."
