The comment period has ended. There was one significant issue raised 
with this application, regarding the actual CPSs in effect at the time 
of the WebTrust EV audit. This issue was resolved to my satisfaction; 
see my previous messages in this thread and comments #26 and #27 in the bug.

I'm therefore formally approving the GeoTrust request to add the 
GeoTrust Primary Certification Authority root to NSS and to mark it as 
suitable for EV use. I've filed bug 424169 against NSS and bug 424171 
against PSM to make the actual code changes required.
