The CCADB stores a couple of different types of "contact" records:

* Primary POC (1 or more): someone who is "authorized to speak for and
to bind the CA that they represent."
* POC (0 or more): Another contact at that CA.
* Email Alias (1 or 2): defined as "more likely to continue working as
personnel change".

All are per-organization values, and I don't believe any of them are
published. However, this then leads to a question about which contacts
should be used in what circumstances.

The Common CCADB Policy says:

"Notification of security and audit-related issues will be emailed to
all POCs and the email aliases; CAs are advised to supply sufficient
POCs that will enable them to respond to an issue promptly."

This is a bit of an administrative pain.

The proposal is to change things to put the burden of ensuring the
appropriate distribution of messages on to the CA. In future, we would
just email the first email alias; CAs are responsible for making sure
that value is a mailing list which goes to all appropriate parties or
systems necessary to provide a timely response.

Any objections?
