Schedule for CA evaluations

Note that this schedule is tentative and may change without warning based on unforeseen circumstances. Nothing in this schedule shall be construed as a commitment by the Mozilla Foundation or the Mozilla project in general.

General timeline

Our process for evaluating CA requests is as follows:

  1. We assign CAs into different groups according to the general priority of processing their requests, and then assign each CA a specific target date for beginning public discussion of their request(s).
  2. Prior to the target date for a CA we gather any needed information from the CA; if for some reason we cannot obtain the needed information then we will postpone consideration of the CA and schedule some other CA for that target date.
  3. Once a CA enters the public discussion period we allow one week for public comment on the CA's request, after which we will make a preliminary determination as to whether the request should be approved or not.
  4. If a request receives preliminary approval then we have a second one-week comment period prior to final approval.
  5. If a request receives final approval then we will file bugs against the appropriate developer(s) to have the necessary changes made to NSS (for CA root inclusion) or PSM (for EV-enabling a CA) or both.
  6. If a request does not receive preliminary or final approval then it will be put back in the queue and reassigned a new target date.

Once bugs are filed against NSS and/or PSM the schedule is set first by the NSS/PSM developer(s) (for making the technical changes) and then by the product teams for Firefox and other products (to include the new changes in a release of Firefox, etc.)

Priority groups

CAs are assigned priorities based on the following factors, among others:

  • length of time the CA has been in the queue
  • whether information gathering for the CA has been completed
  • whether the request is for EV status or not
  • market share of the CA
  • size and importance of the CA's geographic market
  • for government CAs, whether the government is national or regional

The following are tentative priority assignments; note that CAs within each group are listed in alphabetical order:

  • Higher priority: Chunghwa Telecom eCA, FNMT, ICP-Brasil, KISA, SECOM Trust, T-Systems, WISeKey
  • Normal priority: Certigna, DCSSI, Microsec, TC TrustCenter, Trustis
  • Lower priority: ACCV, ARGE DATEN, CATCert, Izenpe

Target schedule

The current tentative schedule is predicated on our starting public discussion for one new CA each week; this may be modified as we gain more experience with the schedule.
