It is '''not''' sufficient to simply reference section 11 of the CA/Browser Forum's Baseline Requirements (BR). BR #11.1.1 lists several ways in which the CA may confirm that the certificate subscriber owns/controls the domain name to be included in the certificate. Simply referencing section 11 of the BRs does not specify which of those options the CA uses, and is insufficient for describing how the CA conforms to the BRs. The CA's CP/CPS must include a reasonable description of the ways the CA can verify that the certificate subscriber owns/controls the domain name(s) to be included in the certificate.
It is '''not''' sufficient to simply reference section 3.2.2.4 of version 1.3 of the CA/Browser Forum's Baseline Requirements (BR). Section 3.2.2.4 lists several ways in which the CA may confirm that the certificate subscriber owns/controls the domain name to be included in the certificate. Simply referencing section 11 of the BRs does not specify which of those options the CA uses, and is insufficient for describing how the CA conforms to the BRs. The CA's CP/CPS must include a reasonable description of the ways the CA can verify that the certificate subscriber owns/controls the domain name(s) to be included in the certificate.
