I can't speak for other people contributing to m.d.s.policy but of course I am not paid to do this. I have a job, but it isn't this. I have never asked my employer's permission to contribute here, judging it to be entirely outside their purview. My job does include running a (small, private) CA, but then it also includes maintaining a DBMS, a web crawler and all sorts of other stuff, I'm sure it would be possible to identify some connection to my job for almost any technical contribution I could make anywhere. There is an proverb in English, I am not sure if you're familiar with it, "More haste, less speed". What this means is that in trying to perform a task as quickly as possible you may instead cause yourself such extra trouble that in the end the task takes even longer to complete. I am sure that even if you have not come across a phrase like this before you can see its applicability to the situation for StartCom. _______________________________________________ dev-security-policy mailing list dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy
