TL;DR: The CCADB Steering Committee will soon update the CCADB policy to Version 1.3.0 <https://github.com/mozilla/www.ccadb.org/pull/138/files> [1], which consolidates several requirements that currently exist in separate Root Store policies. The CCADB Steering Committee provides this pre-release draft and requests that any concerns be expressed by the CA community before October 25, 2023.
All, The CCADB policy <https://www.ccadb.org/policy> [2] will soon be updated to Version 1.3.0 [1]. This update collects some currently disparate requirements from Root Store policies and adds them to the CCADB policy. Some Root Stores may update their individual policies in the future to remove duplicative requirements. In general, this update: 1. adds clarifying language to “Section 5. Policies, Audits, and Practices”; 2. states CA Owners must disclose at least an authoritative English version of policy documents to the CCADB; 3. adds Audit Team Qualifications that are provided to the CCADB; and 4. (if required by a Root Store policy) defines the submission requirements for the CCADB Self-Assessment. The specific changes can be viewed in this PR [1]. This update does not intend to create any new requirements for CA Owners included in the CCADB, rather it intends to combine some existing requirements into a single source to simplify compliance activities. The Steering Committee intends for this version of the policy to become effective on October 25, 2023, and we plan to announce the release with a separate communication. We appreciate considerations from the CA community, either in the PR or directly in this thread before October 25, 2023.
