I think Jacob was merely attempting to provide a more thought out alternative to my proposal basically requiring potential CA owners to first be "accepted" into the Mozilla trusted root program. There is some overlap, yes, but the general idea is to be more prescriptive in ownership than the current policy states.

Is there room to expand Mozilla policy in regards to ownership issues?

I'm not sure what's new or enhanced about them. Our current policies are
not this prescriptive so CAs have more flexibility in how they go about
things, but I believe they preserve the same security invariants.

In general, I suggest that if others have policy problems they see, you
let them draft the solutions? :-)‎
