Gerv, I think there's some confusion there. CNNIC's audits "expire" on Feb "29" 2017 (I say "29" because of ambiguity on "1 year"). That is, within 3 months of Feb "29", 2017, CNNIC would be expected to provide a new audit, which covers February 29, 2016 (the end of the previous audit period) until February "29", 2017. This would then be delivered to Mozilla within 3 months - May 29, 2017. I'm not sure I understand your remark "last a year" - merely, there must be an unbroken sequence of audits. The current sequence ends February 29, 2016. The next sequence must not exceed a year, and must be delivered within 3 months of the full year period expiring. _______________________________________________ dev-security-policy mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy
