certificates

It’s a good time to do it, too, since after governance reform, we want to be 
able to quickly know which certificates are in scope for which working groups.

We discussed this at a few F2Fs.

If 7.1.2.3.f is ignored, it is less confusing, but there is still potential 
ambiguity as to what ‘authenticating a server accessible through the Internet’ 
means. It would be best if the BRs clearly specified the technical 
characteristics of identifying a certificate that is ‘in-scope’.

In that regard, I think we're in violent agreement. Root Programs have 
undertaken this to some extent, but it would be good to revisit clarification, 
hopefully now that more CAs are aware of the problems posed.
