As per the CA Schedule at https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:Schedule Hongkong Post is the next request in the queue for public discussion.
Hongkong Post (a national government CA under the law of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China) has applied to add one new root CA certificate to the Mozilla root store, as documented in the following bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408949 and in the pending certificates list here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/certs/pending/#Hongkong%20Post Summary of Information Gathered and Verified: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=359588 Some quick comments regarding noteworthy points: * This root, "Hongkong Post Root CA 1", has only one direct subordinate, “Hongkong Post e-Cert CA 1”, which issues different types of e-Certs to individuals and organizations. * Hongkong Post has appointed E-Mice Solutions (HK) Limited as its agent to operate the e-Cert services related to this root and all its subordinate CA certificates and end-entity certificates. This information is provided in the CPS and Management Assertions. The WebTrust audit includes both E-Mice operations and Hongkong Post operations. * The CP documents have been provided in English. * Hongkong Post and E-Mice have undergone WebTrust CA audits by PricewaterhouseCoopers. The audits are current, and the most recent audit statement from March, 2008 is posted on WebTrust.org. This begins the one-week discussion period. After that week, I will provide a summary of issues noted and action items. If there are no outstanding issues, then this request can be approved for inclusion. If there are outstanding issues or action items, then an additional discussion may be needed as follow-up.
