Subject: [Servercert-wg] Allow VATEL for organizationIdentifier values in EV 
Guidelines

 


Dear Members,

The EV Guidelines have strict rules in the organizationIdentifier values and 
require the country code of all currently-allowed Registration Schemes (NTR, 
VAT, PSD) to follow the ISO 3166-1 for the 2-letter country prefix.

The organizationIdentifier language mainly came from ETSI ESI 319 412-1 and 
then the SCWG made several modifications. However, there is an exception for 
Greece specifically for the VAT Registration Scheme that is aligned with 
Article 215 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC 
<https://url.avanan.click/v2/___https:/eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2006/112/oj___.YXAzOmRpZ2ljZXJ0OmE6bzo2NzI1ODFiMTM2Y2M1ODdhODQxOGEzYmQ0NzE3YjI1MTo2Ojk5MWY6ZDk0Y2M3ZDQ4YzY4OTZhMzg5YTgyYjVmNjU3ZTM0NWFlNjkyMGU2Y2NkMTI3MWUzMTVhOGE4ZTJiZmVjNjRhNTpoOkY>
  that allows Greece to use the country prefix "EL". In practice, Greece uses 
the prefix "EL" to identify itself next to the VAT number of all Legal Entities 
registered/incorporated/established in Greece, and all other European Countries 
use this prefix to identify Greek VAT numbers. You can easily verify this in 
the VIES VAT number validation website 
<https://url.avanan.click/v2/___https:/ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/%23/vat-validation___.YXAzOmRpZ2ljZXJ0OmE6bzo2NzI1ODFiMTM2Y2M1ODdhODQxOGEzYmQ0NzE3YjI1MTo2OjNiZGM6ODAyNDJjYmNmOTg1ZGQ4OGRiMmFkMzA1NTdiNmFiZTA5ZWU4NWQzMjhlMTg2Y2E0YzZhYWVhMGUxMGNhZmI2YTpoOkY>
  where Greece is listed as"EL".

Based on the above, I prepared 
https://github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/main...dzacharo:servercert:updateVAT
 
<https://url.avanan.click/v2/___https:/github.com/cabforum/servercert/compare/main...dzacharo:servercert:updateVAT___.YXAzOmRpZ2ljZXJ0OmE6bzo2NzI1ODFiMTM2Y2M1ODdhODQxOGEzYmQ0NzE3YjI1MTo2OjU0M2M6ZGY4Mjg0MDVmNWE3N2NjMWZlMWRkNGRiZGI5NzkzOTllYzUyZWNmNjk5M2EyMDdkMDYyOGNmY2UyMjFlNTAyYTpoOkY>
  and plan to prepare a ballot to update the EV Guidelines. Mozilla is willing 
to endorse this ballot so I am actually looking for one more endorser.

Please let me know if there are any issues or concerns with this proposal.


Best regards,
Dimitris.
