Hello David,

It appears that you are absolutely right. We probably have a bug in the process 
of generating OV (Organization Validation) SSL certificates - some of the 
country codes in the subject information DN are being generated as full country 
names.
However, this bug does not affect Domain Validated SSL certificates. And since 
the CA is not yet actively issuing SSL certificates, and the only OV SSL 
certificates that we issued so far by this root are test certificates - then 
the easiest solution for us at the moment is to disable the OV SSL certificates 
mechanism and to leave active only the DV SSL certificates issuing mechanism.
We've issued a new DV SSL certificate for the test site, and we are now working 
to fix this bug. Only after the bug is fixed we shall re-activate our OV SSL 
issuing mechanism.
Thank you for your observation.
