I’d like to propose making Kathleen Wilson the new owner of the “CA Certificate Policy” module. Since leaving my job at Mozilla in January I have continued to provide oversight for this module, and I intend to remain involved in the future. However, given my diminished focus on this important work, I believe now is a good time to transition the responsibility for this module back to Kathleen.
As an emeritus owner of this module, owner of the CA Certificates module, and long-time member of this community, Kathleen's qualifications speak for themselves. For reference, Kathleen became CA Certificates Module owner and CA Certificate Policy peer in August 2010 [1] and CA Certificate Policy Module owner in January 2012 [2]. She led the updates to the following versions of Mozilla Root Store Policy [3]: 2.0, 2.1, 2.2. Kathleen has been writing and maintaining CA program wiki pages since 2010. [4] There are two modules related to Mozilla’s CA Program which govern the default set of certificates in Network Security Services (NSS) and distributed in Mozilla’s software products. They are: 1) Mozilla CA Certificate Policy [5] Description: Definition and enforcement of policies governing Certification Authorities, their root certificates included in Mozilla software products, and intermediate and end-entity certificates within those CA hierarchies. Current Owner: Wayne Thayer -- Proposed Owner: Kathleen Wilson Current Peer(s): Kathleen Wilson -- Proposed Peer: Wayne Thayer 2) CA Certificates [6] Description: Determine which root certificates should be included in Mozilla software products, which trust bits should be set on them, and which of them should be enabled for EV treatment. Evaluate requests from Certification Authorities (CAs) for inclusion or removal of root certificates, and for updating trust bit settings or enabling EV treatment for already included root certificates. Owner: Kathleen Wilson -- no change Peer(s): Ryan Sleevi, Wayne Thayer -- no change Thanks, Wayne [1] https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.governance/doYvOMfMuJc/aSt4aTEj4HMJ [2] https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.security.policy/euJzuS737-Q/hX94NnNF5xUJ [3] https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Root_Store_Policy_Archive [4] https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.security.policy/qiSIaQ6ZvyU/fY7JD4EUd9QJ [5] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules/All#Mozilla_CA_Certificate_Policy [6] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules/All#CA_Certificates _______________________________________________ governance mailing list governance@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
