The recent auditor discussions on this list have highlighted the fact that
we haven't done a good job of tracking auditor concerns. Easily searchable
records of past CA issues in Bugzilla help us to identify patterns of CA
behavior, and we should have the same for auditors. with that in mind, I
have two announcements:

* Rename Bugzilla Component
CA issues have been filed under the NSS component "CA Certificate
Mis-issuance" in Bugzilla. "Mis-issuance" was inaccurate since the category
is used for all types of CA issues - audits, OCSP responders, etc. We also
want to use this component for auditor compliance issues, so we have just
renamed it to "CA Certificate Compliance". Please be aware of this change
when creating new, or searching for existing CA compliance bugs.

* Create Auditor Compliance Dashboard:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Auditor_Compliance
I've created a new page on our wiki that describes how to create an auditor
compliance bug and that will summarize existing bugs. It also lists the one
auditor location that Mozilla has disqualified. Please let me know if you
find errors or omissions on this page.

I am planning to begin creating auditor compliance bugs when issues are
discovered that should have been found and reported by auditors. I may also
go back and create some bugs to document past issues. Please be aware that
these bugs are for tracking purposes and the simple act of creating one
should not be interpreted as an attack aimed at discrediting or
disqualifying any auditor. It is being done in the spirit of transparency
with the intent of working collaboratively with auditors to improve the
quality and consistency of the audit information received by Mozilla.
