I don't believe a CA has to claim any connection with the CA/B Forum.  They
merely have to assert (and have that assertion supported by an audit
finding) that they're compliant with either the WebTrust criteria (which are
based off the CA/B Forum requirements), or one of a couple of ETSI standards
(which, I believe, aren't).
