“The certificate request MAY include all factual information about the 
Applicant to be included in the Certificate, and such additional information as 
is necessary for the CA to obtain from the Applicant in order to comply with 
these Requirements and the CA’s Certificate Policy and/or Certification 
Practice Statement.”

*       This indicates a certificate request may include partial information. 

 

“ In cases where the certificate request does not contain all the necessary 
information about the Applicant, the CA SHALL obtain the remaining information 
from the Applicant or, having obtained it from a reliable, independent, 
third‐party data source, confirm it with the Applicant. The CA SHALL establish 
and follow a documented procedure for verifying all data requested for 
inclusion in the Certificate by the Applicant. Applicant information MUST 
include, but not be limited to, at least one Fully‐Qualified Domain Name or IP 
address to be included in the Certificate’s SubjectAltName extension.”

*       The CA can get additional information as necessary to support the 
issuance. The only information required is at least one FQDN. Provided one FQDN 
is provided, the rest of the information can be obtained by the CA after the 
initial request. Information obtained after the request may include the date to 
issue the certificate and additional FQDNs.

A slightly different third interpretation:

- Obtaining a partial request (under 4.2.1, the certificate request does not 
contain all necessary information…)

 

How is the notion of "partial request" supported, in light of 4.1.2?

 

If we support the notion of "partial request", then what is the absolute 
minimum amount of information to distinguish that from "no request"?

 

I don't disagree we can come up with lots of words for those things, but I 
don't see how they're supported :)
