--------------------------------------
Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Technical

Reported by: Job Snijders <[email protected]>
Date Reported: 2025-11-21
Held by: Ketan Talaulikar (IESG)

Section: 3.1.1

Original Text
-------------
Encoding options for the common name that are supported are printableString and 
UTF8String.

Corrected Text
--------------
The common name attribute is encoded as PrintableString (RFC 6487, Section 4.5).

Notes
-----
In all other RPKI object profiles a restricted character string type 
(PrintableString) is used in both issuer & subject name attributes, with the 
exception of the BGPsec certificate profile where an unjustified exception 
seems to have slipped in. In this context it is an unnecessary complication for 
implementers to have to make special accommodations for multibyte characters in 
some aspects of the BGPsec certificate profile.

Verification Notes: This looks to be correct. Refer -
