Kyle Hamilton: Erm, I must ask this. Are you proposing to manage Mozilla's CA approval process as though it were a CA itself? No, not at all. I'm talking about a management utility in order to make our life's easier, simply as that, nothing more than that. Governing EV should be more or l

Re: Mozilla CA Management Tool

Frank Hecker: I'd be interested in your thoughts about what such a tool should do. We've been evolving over the years in terms of what and how much information we keep about CAs, and certainly the system we have now is far from perfect. Basically I'd first of all automate much tracking a
