Dear Matt,

The way towards something like full disclosure is a difficult one to walk. I 
was working in the airline industry for a couple of years and experienced 
firsthand what it means to establish and nurture a "no blame" culture that 
truly motivates people to talk about mistakes, drifts towards unsafe behaviour 
and such. It's a long process and all participants need to want to support it.

I think that the current process of disclosing incidents publicly on Bugzilla 
does not help build a "full disclosure - no blame" culture. So CA's (and all 
the other participants in the ecosystem) will continue to try and limit the 
possible negative impact of what they have to disclose.

Kind regards

I'd suggest removing the word "significantly", because that's entirely open to 
interpretation, and history has shown that CAs aren't shy about interpreting 
things in a manner most favourable to their interests.  I don't see any real 
problem with requiring CAs to report *everything* with the potential to impact 
CIA of CA-related things, because even minor hiccups can become major, and they 
can also be a learning experience for everyone -- which is the same reason why 
most safety-critical industries require the reporting of near-misses, not just 
actual incidents.

- Matt
