Hello Aaron (and all!)

 

Thank you very much for this – excellent work! We only have a question with 
regards to line 665:

> All contact information for Domain Contacts MUST come from the WHOIS record, 
> a DNS SOA record, or direct contact with the Domain Name Registrar of the 
> Base Domain Name, and MUST be obtained directly by the CA, i.e. without the 
> use of third-party services operated outside the CA's audit scope.

 

Would this section benefit from a definition for third-party services to 
further remove any risk of ambiguity? 

 

I feel like we intuitively all have an understanding what is meant, but could 
(to give an extreme example) this text be interpreted as both allowing and 
prohibiting the use of a browser to facilitate representing WHOIS information 
that is otherwise gathered from appropriate sources, using an internal service 
completely developed and controlled by the CA?

 

Kind regards,

 

Eva

Subject: [Servercert-wg] [DIscussion Period Begins] SC-070: Clarify the use of 
DTPs for domain control validation

 

This ballot aims to clarify the existing language around the use of delegated 
third-parties during domain and IP address control validation. It leaves the 
existing language in place, and adds specifics for the cases of DNS queries, 
WHOIS lookups, and contact with the Domain Name Registrat or IP Address 
Registration Authority.

 

Additionally, it places these same restrictions on CAA checking, with an 
effective date of 2024-05-15.

 

This ballot is proposed by Aaron Gable (ISRG / Let's Encrypt) and endorsed by 
Mads Henriksveen (Buypass) and Dimitris Zacharopoulos (HARICA). You can view
