Dear Ryan, In outlining the two paths that I presented at the end of my previous email, I made sure to illustrate the choice between them as one that comes repeatedly -- a conscious choice that every time produces a small, incremental improvement, often through a tiresome and onerous process.

Dear Ryan, Thanks very much for this very insightful email. There really is a lot that I and others don't know about how these decisions are made. The silver lining here is that we agree on where some of the gaps are in this process, and that Mozilla, Google and others are working on filling in

Dear Ryan, Thank you very much for pointing out that in the examples listed by Fabio, none of them actually control the private key. I did not know this and assumed that the opposite would be the case for at least some of the entities listed. I am indeed a new participant and I have an

I appreciate the ground work Fabio put into this thus far, and want to see further discussion on it. I think the safest way to quantity and frame the discussion is asking if a CA (or subCA) has a vested interest in surveillance, other business interest, or government ties which would put a CA to

Hi Scott, Below is my personal view on it, I acknowledge that it is highly subjective. For one, people and companies in the UAE could get certs from non-UAE CAs. I live in Sweden, yet I have certs from Norwegian, British, and American CAs. Another issue I have is that I think there is a

Dear Nex, I doubt that anyone seriously believes that "reporters are lying out of their teeth." It is far more likely that the reporters are working within the realm of reason and covering things as they see them. So far all the actors in this appear to be behaving in ways that make sense

Even if we stipulated that all those accounts were fully accurate, all those reports are about a separate business that happens to be owned by the same owner. Furthermore, in as far as none of those directly speak to their ability to own or manage a publicly trusted CA, I would regard those

I think that dismissing as baseless investigations from 9 different reporters, on 3 different newspapers (add one more, FP, if consider this[1]) is misleading. Additionally, it is just false to say all the articles only relied on anonymous sources (of which they have many, by the way), but there
