I have just submitted a version of the Mozilla CA certificate policy to the Mozilla foundation and mozilla.org staff for consideration as an official 1.0 policy:

  http://www.hecker.org/mozilla/ca-certificate-policy

This "1.0 Release Candidate" version of the policy is basically the draft 12 version with two changes:

* I explicitly marked the policy as a release candidate.

* I made a minor change to the last sentence in clause 7 to clarify the meaning of the sentence.

I've attached a diff listing of the exact changes from draft 12. (Incidentally, notice how I cleverly avoided calling this version draft 13 :-)

In a subsequent post I'll forward the message I sent to mozilla.org staff.

Frank
