--------------------------------------
Type: Technical
Reported by: Stephen Kent <[email protected]>

Section: 6.3

Original Text
-------------
 ExtendedKeyUsage
         The CA MAY honor ExtendedKeyUsage extensions of keyCertSign and
         cRLSign if present, as long as this is consistent with the
         BasicConstraints SubjectType sub-field, when specified.

Corrected Text
--------------
 ExtendedKeyUsage
         The CA MAY honor ExtendedKeyUsage extensions in requests for EE
         certificates that are issued to routers or other devices, consistent 
with values
         specified in Standards Track RFCs that adopt this profile and that 
identify
         application-specific requirements that motivate the use of such EKUs.

Notes
-----
The current text appears to be the result of a "cut and paste" error. It is 
essentially identical to the text 
for the Key Usage extension, and names two fields that appear in that 
extension, not in an EKU extension. The text I propose above parallels what 
appears in Section 4.8.5, which describes how an
 EKU MAY be used in RPKI certificates.

Instructions:

This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG)
